Benefits of Local Wraparound Services
Regional Knowledge & Resources
Our team's familiarity with local resources, school districts, and support systems ensures that you receive relevant referrals and connections within your community. This local expertise helps maximize available support for your family.
In-Person Support
While some services can be provided virtually, our California-focused approach emphasizes in-person support whenever possible. This direct interaction creates stronger relationships and more effective intervention for families.
"They know your story and they don't judge. They're there to really support and give a helping hand."
- Angela, Adoptive Parent
Understanding of State Systems
Our specialists have extensive experience navigating California's adoption, education, and mental health systems. This knowledge helps families access available resources and advocate effectively within these complex structures.
Community Connections
Connect with other adoptive families in your region who understand the specific challenges and opportunities of adoption in California. These local connections provide valuable support and understanding.
Culturally Responsive Support
California's diverse population requires culturally sensitive approaches to family support. Our team provides culturally responsive services that honor and respect each family's unique background and identity.
"‘My classmates say you're not my mom because you're Black.’ I said, ‘well, what do you think? What does your heart tell you?’ I said, ‘just tell them you're special because we chose each other.’"

SB 163 Wraparound Services in California
Senate Bill 163 (Chapter 795), enacted in 1997, allows California counties to develop Wraparound programs using state and county funding. This legislation was designed as an alternative to group home care through the development of expanded family-based services for children at risk of placement outside their homes.
Key Components of California SB 163 Services:
Family-Centered Approach
Our services wrap around children living with their adoptive parents, focusing on preserving the family unit and preventing placement disruption.
Comprehensive Care Coordination
A dedicated care coordinator ensures all aspects of support are integrated and focused on your family's specific needs and goals.
Adoption Assistance Program (AAP) Integration
For families receiving Adoption Assistance Program benefits, our services are designed to complement and extend this support through specialized intervention.
Local Therapeutic Support
Access to trauma-informed therapeutic approaches specifically designed for adopted children and their families, delivered by professionals familiar with California's adoption landscape.
