Since 2013, the WISE Program (formerly known as Strong Families/Safe Communities) has been engaging local systems to identify community-driven solutions that highlight collaboration across agencies to develop the best possible outcomes for these families.

WISE serves individuals with co-occurring mental illness and developmental disabilities, who need stabilization in their current living environment. Individuals may be exhibiting aggressive or violent behaviors that place them at risk of being placed outside their home.


WISE strives to:

  • Identify strengths and needs of the families and build resource networks for those dually diagnosed.
  • Enlist families for the Wraparound process and provide support to families/individuals.
  • Make observations and offer support to local school districts in order to offer assistance to schools and families.
  • Provide a bridge between services for clients of both the Board of Developmental Disabilities and the MHRB in order to streamline care and services for the families involved.
  • Provide Wraparound services to individuals and families for reduction of aggressive behavior and familial disruptions, stabilization in the community and home, and success in school.
  • Increase natural community supports for families and children.
  • Increase informed involvement with natural community supports.

**Services may include: wraparound meetings, case management, counseling, parent support, parent/caregiver respite.


Partners

This program is funded in part by the Mental Health and Recovery Board of Wayne & Holmes Counties in collaboration with the Holmes County Board of Developmental Disabilities and the Wayne County Board of Developmental Disabilities.
