As an Industry Leader, Victor’s Wraparound programs and services are a beacon of hope for youth and families facing complex challenges. With a strength-based approach, these programs empower individuals to identify their strengths while receiving intensive, holistic support tailored to their unique needs.
The Wraparound model is designed for children, youth, and families to help them thrive in their homes and communities while realizing their hopes and dreams.
Wraparound programs are a comprehensive philosophy that emphasizes the importance of a collaborative support system. In partnership with behavioral health, child welfare, and juvenile justice departments across California, the Wraparound program works diligently to enhance youth safety, permanency, and overall well-being. Recognizing that every family is unique, Wraparound services are customized to address the specific needs of each client and family, fostering resilience and long-lasting change.
At its core, the Wraparound program revolves around collaboration. This involves engaging with family members, professionals, and the community to create an individualized action plan. By fostering a culture of teamwork, the program ensures that everyone involved is working towards the same goal: the success and well-being of the youth and their families.
One remarkable example of the Wraparound's effectiveness is Jason’s story. A bright and energetic 10-year-old, Jason faced significant challenges following the loss of his grandfather. His grief led to emotional outbursts and declining academic performance, prompting his teachers to refer him to Victor Community Support Services (VCSS).
Once enrolled, Jason, his mother, and the VCSS team—including a Wraparound Facilitator and Family Support Counselor—worked collaboratively with school staff to develop a tailored action plan. This plan not only addressed Jason’s academic challenges but also focused on his emotional needs stemming from grief.
By the time Jason graduated from the Wraparound program, he had transformed into a confident and thriving student. His journey showcases the profound impact of community support and tailored services in overcoming life’s challenges.

Another inspiring client story is Rachel, a 14-year-old girl who faced severe social anxiety and depression. After expressing thoughts of self-harm, Rachel was hospitalized, marking a turning point in her life. Rachel and her mother lived in cramped conditions, which only exacerbated her struggles. Recognizing the urgency, Rachel was referred to Victor’s Wraparound services.
The Wraparound team was there to support Rachel through intensive therapy and family involvement. Rachel faced a few challenges when she returned to school, but with the help of her Clinician, Julie, she gradually reintegrated into the classroom environment. Julie was able to be there as support and also be her cheerleader, celebrating each of Rachel’s milestones and achievements.
Through consistent therapy and family support, Rachel transitioned from failing grades to graduating with honors.
