Dedicated to addressing the needs of youth with severe emotional difficulties through community-based services, the C&A Program is designed to keep families together. The program works with parents and providers to design a unique plan for each child.

What is High-Fidelity Wraparound?
Wraparound is a process that assists youth with high-risk emotional disturbances, their family, therapists and others to create an individualized goal-directed network of care. This network develops and encourages the family's use of natural supports (e.g., pastor, neighbor, relative) and informal supports (e.g., job manager, recreation coach), all the while decreasing the family's dependence on formal supports (e.g., probation officer, child welfare case manager.)

Why do High-Fidelity Wraparound?
Research suggests that high-risk youth with emotional disturbances do better when a natural and informal support system works along with therapy. High-Fidelity is simply the faithful recreation of the original sound, which means our job is to faithfully execute the original family-driven model.

How do we do Wraparound?
The network of care is actually a Wraparound Team which consists of anyone the family decides. GRN Community Service Board automatically provides two team members at no cost to the family. These team members are the Care Coordinator who assists the family in coordinating and planning services, and the Family Support Partner who advocates for the family. All other team members are selected by the family. These team members meet at the youth and family's request, and implement strength-based action plans.

How long are a youth and family in Wraparound?
The national model suggests good outcomes from Wraparound at 18 months, but a youth and family may transition out before that time.

Who pays for this service?
GRN Community Service Board has received funds to promote and pilot the Wraparound process. In addition, youth who are authorized for residential may receive additional services through a federal demonstration waiver known as CBAY (Community Based Alternatives for Youth.)

The Child and Adolescent Crisis Stabilization Program is a medically monitored, short term crisis stabilization program that provides psychiatric and behavioral stabilization for adolescents and detoxification for adolescents who are seriously, emotionally disturbed and substance abuse dependent youth. The CSP operates 24-hours a day, seven days a week, and serves children, adolescents, and families who are in crisis. The Crisis Stabilization Program is a locked unit that has twenty-eight (28) beds, which can include two transitional beds.

Therapeutic Community Care (TCC) is a service provided by GRN-CSB as a licensed Child Placing Agency, CARF Accredited and CBAY approved vender for youth with emotional and/or behavioral difficulties that interfere with everyday functioning.  This service supports the youth and family by providing a needed break for the family when a youth may be reaching a level of harm to themselves or others.
Respite can last for weekend or longer as needed and decided by the team.  We offer this service to avoid a less appropriate placement such as hospitalization, PRTF or group home by providing support to the family and youth during a stressful time. 
Our treatment homes are in the community.   The treatment parents receive ongoing education and training both in the home and through outside workshops so they have up to the minute information and knowledge to support the youths in their homes to the best of their abilities.    Treatment aid services are also available on an as needed basis according to the youth’s needs while in our treatment home.
