WRAPAROUND is a solution-focused collaborative process in which Better Family Foundation will coach and help youth, parents, and families who need ongoing and frequent support. Clients can receive help to handle their emotions in productive ways, and it is beneficial for those who need a professional counselor to walk them through their problems as they occur.

Better Family Foundation uses a number of tools, techniques, and processes designed to help the clients focused and challenged, and to find the best way to get to a better place in their life and relationships. The Counselor will:

 

▸ ENABLE

Clients to learn to identify their own defense mechanisms (the stories they tell to defend themselves).


▸ EMPOWER

Clients to disassociate from the “can’t” mind-set.


▸ MOTIVATE

Clients to work towards and look forward to achieving new goals.


▸ ASSIST

Clients in creating empowering visions and beliefs.


 

Both the Counselor and the clients work towards breakthrough solutions and achieving the chosen goals through these CORE CONCEPTS:

▸ MINDFULNESS is the awareness that emerges through paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally to things as they are. This means paying attention to things deciphering what are really in any given moment not what we want them to be.

▸ EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE is comprised of self-regulation, self-awareness, motivation, empathy, and social skills. Its focus is to teach clients to manage their emotions, develop healthy relationships, and make good decisions for academic, personal, and career success; namely, strengthen families emotional intelligence.

▸ GRATITUDE will help clients recognize the goodness in our lives. The client makes this a habit, attitude, emotion, personality trait, and coping mechanism. 

▸ POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY spends much of its time thinking about topics like character strengths, optimism, life satisfaction, happiness, well-being, gratitude, compassion (as well as self-compassion), self-esteem and self-confidence, hope, and elevation.
