ABOUT SOLANO WRAPAROUND
The Solano Wraparound program objective is to keep those youth living with a family or in a family like setting in the community. The Wraparound approach focuses on supporting children by enhancing natural resources within their families and communities so that they can live in the least restrictive, most family-like setting possible, and avoid continued involvement with the justice system. Services are provided throughout the entire county of Solano for youth involved with probation, social services, mental/behavioral health services.
