This article describes how to implement these cultural components and offers preliminary comparative findings based on the experience of Connecting Circles of Care (CCOC), a SAMHSA-funded systems of care grantee. The enhanced model ensures that families can receive treatment services that are (a) grounded in their cultures; (b) designed by members of their cultures; and, (c) provided by culturally matched staff. CCOC focuses on four distinct cultural groups: African-Americans, Hmong, Latinos and Native Americans. The process of implementing culture-based wraparound services is examined relative to the community and organization structural supports, the four phases of wraparound, and the adaptations for specific cultural communities. Statistically significant differences were found among CCOC yo...
