ABOUT JUVENILE PROBATION WRAPAROUND
The Solano Wraparound program serves Solano County children and adolescents who are involved with Juvenile Probation and who are transitioning from or are at risk of going to out-of-home care or juvenile hall. The program’s objective is to keep those youth living with a family or in a family like setting in the community. The Wraparound approach focuses on supporting children by enhancing natural resources within their families and communities so that they can live in the least restrictive, most family-like setting possible, and avoid continued involvement with the justice system. Services are provided throughout the entire county of Solano for youth involved with probation.
