Emmett Dennis – 5/13/2009
When families make the news, it is often for negative reasons such as violence or abuse. However, families are critical to the positive development of children and youth, as well as to problems that may affect development.

Action Plan developed by New Hampshire Grant Community
What is the Family & Community Action Plan?
The Family & Community Action Plan is a tool to use in the Wraparound Process. Its purpose is to design and help successfully implement multi-agency, community-based involvement with families. The Wraparound Process requires full inclusion of the family and identifies the services and supports needed by the child and family. This process occurs in consultation with other members of the Wraparound Team. The Family & Community Action Plan is divided into several life domains including behavioral health, substance use, medical, residential, home & family, social/cultural/community, educational/vocational, financial, legal and safety/risk management. For each identified need there are specific actions and resources that are listed. The plans must be strengths-based and child and family driven.
