About
The Virginia Wraparound Center of Excellence (COE) began in 2013 because of a Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA) federal grant award. The Virginia Wraparound COE opened as a partnership between the Office of Children’s Services (OCS) and the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS). OCS continues to support Virginia’s implementation of High Fidelity Wraparound through training and implementation resources, as well as promoting wraparound with state and local partners, including local Children’s Services Act (CSA) programs.
VWIC was established in 2019 in order to carry on the work of the Virginia COE. VWIC was developed from funds from a SAMHSA federal grant award and is currently operated by United Methodist Family Services (UMFS). VWIC is currently funded through a partnership with DBHDS.
VWIC’s Advisory Board is comprised of one-third youth, parents, and community stakeholders respectively. The Advisory Board assists in ensuring youth and family voice in the design and implementation of all VWIC activities.
