Children and Family Services has adopted the Wraparound Process as the philosophical base for the overall Foster Care service delivery system, including the Chafee Independent Living Program. The following is an outline of the values, principles and beliefs of the Wraparound Process related to independent living:

• Unconditional commitment to working with families/youth is provided.
• Families/youth are full and active partners in the process.
• Services are culturally responsive.
• This is a team driven process.
• Services focus on strengths and competencies of families/youth, not on deficiencies and problems.
• Service plans are outcome based.
• Services and plans are individualized to meet the needs of the families/youth.
• Resources and supports, both in and out of the family are utilized for solutions.
• People are the greatest resource to one another.
