Welcome to Wrap Canada

Wraparound is more than a model – it’s a way of bringing people, systems, and communities together around what matters most. Grounded in dignity, collaboration, and cultural humility, Wraparound helps individuals and families build on their strengths, navigate challenges, and move toward the life they want.

Wraparound is a flexible, person centred planning process that focuses on what’s strong, not what’s wrong. It brings together the people who matter most in someone’s life and supports them in building a plan that reflects their voice, their culture, and their goals.

At its heart, Wraparound is about possibility, belonging, and the belief that no one should have to navigate hard times alone.

With Wraparound, you speak with a trained Wraparound Facilitator about your hopes and dreams for yourself and your family (if applicable). Together you then identity your gifts (your strengths) and your needs, and you pick a group of people who will form your Wraparound team—people who know you, like family and friends, and whose advice you trust. The team can include professionals—that’s up to you. With the help of your team, you then decide on action steps for meeting your goals, based on your and your team’s strengths.

These values guide every interaction, every plan, and every team:

These aren’t just principles, they’re commitments to how we show up for one another.

Wrap Canada honours the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe Peoples, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, a land long rooted in the teachings of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum. Across Turtle Island, we recognise the Indigenous Nations whose lands sustain our Wraparound partners, and we honour the resilience, interdependence, and community care that shape our shared commitment to supporting children, youth, and families.
