The top 3 reasons for client discharge are: being moved to a higher level of care, successfully closing the case, and program graduation. When asked in a satisfaction survey, over 70% of clients stated they "strongly agree" that Wrap services were beneficial to them. The program's continuation is an important part of maintaining the health and well-being of youth and families with complex needs; enabling children to remain in the community in the lowest level of possible care.
On April 7, 2025, LCDSS submitted a request for proposal. RCS was the only agency to submit a proposal.
