“The children who
learn through their
association with the
Wrap Around Kids™ Program learn something far more
important: the importance
and strength of the
community around them.”  Jack Thompson, AM
"While the Wrap Around Kids™ framework appears disarmingly simple, the complexity lies in the research, development and on-going refinements which has brought the program to its current standing. Now, by developing Wrap Around Kids™ Online we’ve taken it to the next level.”

The training, software and years of experience that will challenge old systems and build greater understanding. With greater understanding come greater rewards.
Already, we are seeing so-called “problem children” blossom as they discover self-esteem and talents beyond expectations to become valued members of the community.
With continued support, we believe we can reduce the escalating community costs of delinquency, family breakdown, school expulsion, teachers’ stress leave, juvenile justice and other welfare costs and produce happier, healthier children capable of achieving true greatness.

We have a growing file of success stories.
Dan's...
Original “Jigsaw” art was painted by Dan. In Grade 4, Dan’s natural artistic talent was recognised in a Wrap Around Kids meeting and this was to be the turning point for this young man. While his siblings did well at school and sport, Dan soon proved how well he could do in art. His self-esteem soared. Today, he is a popular high school student and an excellent achiever with strong goals in place.
Cameron’s...
Cameron’s story includes a history of hyperactivity, disorganisation and behavioural problems at home and school. Yet his IQ fell into the superior range. After being diagnosed with ADHD, and trialling medication for one week, the difference was dramatic to say the least – and that was just the beginning. Later on that year, ‘the kid who couldn’t concentrate’ won a national creative writing competition. |
