Study Finds Wraparound Implementation Better in Care Management Entities

A newly published study has found that Wraparound Implementation tends consistently to be better in Care Management Entities (CMEs) versus Community Mental Health Centers (CMHCs). A blog post from the NWI discusses the findings and describes how strategies that make Wraparound implementation successful in CMEs can be replicated in CMHCs.

New Findings on Wraparound's Effectiveness

The Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry has just published a new study that formally summarizes the existing research on Wraparound’s costs and impact on child and youth outcomes. A new blog post from the NWI discusses the importance of the study’s findings that Wraparound consistently produces positive outcomes for youth and reduces the cost of care.
