10. Which of the following identifies the correct sequence of the wraparound process?

a. Planning, implementation, transition, engagement

b. Engagement, planning, implementation, transition

c. Engagement, implementation, planning, transition

d. Implementation, engagement, transition, planning

Rationale: Engagement must occur first to develop trust, respond to any immediate family crisis needs, explain the wraparound process, and solicit the family “story.” Planning is the second phase in which the family “plan” is developed including identification of team member strengths and identification and prioritization of needs. How the team will move forward to implement the plan must be thoughtfully discussed. The third phase is implementation. During this phase, the plan moves into action and progress is regularly evaluated. The plan may be revised or updated as needed. Successes are celebrated and the team becomes more cohesive. The fourth and final phase is transition. The team plans for the cessation of wraparound care, ensuring that the family has become empowered to address any future challenges that they may face. Informal and natural resources are more strongly integrated into the team to ensure success and continued familial support. Commencement celebrations occur. Follow-up is done with the family at an established time frame.
