The Sustaining Families program works in close partnership with Marin County Departments of Social Services, Mental Health, Juvenile Probation and Education, as well as with Community Action Marin and other service providers to create an effective and responsive wraparound system.  The goal of Sustaining Families is to offer a family-centered, strength-based and outcome-oriented alternative to group care placements for youth with complex and enduring needs and their families.  Seneca is intent upon implementing a wraparound program that is anchored in Marin neighborhoods and focused on doing whatever it takes to achieve the best possible outcomes for enrolled youth and families.  

At the heart of wraparound are the Child and Family Teams. Child and Family Teams place families in the center of the planning process and encourage formal and informal supports to unite around the shared hopes and goals of the family. Plans coming out of Child and Family Team meetings build on individual and family strengths to address unmet needs and involve use of community resources.  Sustaining Families offers a range of services in support of this process including rehabilitation, case management, crisis support, therapeutic intervention, transportation, and case coordination.
