Wraparound with Intensive Services (WISe)

Ryther’s Wraparound with Intensive Services (WISe) program provides intensive mental health services for youth with complex behavioral health needs. WISe is designed for youth who would benefit from a higher level of care or who are at risk of out-of-home placement. The program uses a team-based approach to support youth and their families in achieving wellness, safety, and strengthened relationships within their community.
