Wraparound Services

One of the problems that agency programs and other community-based programs have is that they deliver only one kind of service.  Therefore when an individual cannot make it in one particular service, or completes the service due to insurance restrictions, he or she is discharged.  Taylor-Starkewood offers one-stop, wraparound services that are individually tailored to the family's needs.

Our wraparound service approach contain the following elements:

*  A practice of unconditional care
*  A focus on individual strengths
*  A family-driven, family-strengths-focused process
*  An individualized approach
*  An emphasis on serving families within their communities
*  A commitment to culturally competent care
*  A process that uses Child and Family Teams
*  An emphasis on interagency collaboration
*  An outcome-driven process

Services may include one or more of the following services:  Psychiatric Evaluations and Medication Management, In-Home Residential Support, Therapeutic Consultation, Respite Services, Companion Services,  Functional Behavioral Assessments, Positive Behavior Support Plans, Intensive In-Home Counseling, Mental Health Support, Substance Abuse Education/Prevention and Therapy, and Individual/group/family psychotherapies.  All employees facilitating services undergo State and Federal Background Checks, Department of Social Services Registry Checks, and meet criteria for their positions according to the Department of Medical Assistance Services, the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities, and the Virginia Department of Health Professionals.



Psychiatric Evaluations & Medication Management

Taylor-Starkewood offers evaluations and medication management by a psychiatrist licensed by the Virginia Board of Health Professionals, Board of Psychiatry. 

Individual & Family Psychotherapy

Because problems do not happen all the time, we have many successes that we are not often aware of.  Taylor-Starkewood focuses on bringing these successes to awareness, and helping people to repeat the successful things they do when the problem is not there or less severe. Recognizing and repeating successes in life builds confidence and self-esteem,  which aids in creating new solutions when problems do arise.



Mentoring

Our mentors are supervised  by a licensed professional, and each child that is mentored has a strategic support plan.  The three key goals of this plan are: 1) achievement, which includes the encouragement and facilitation of academics,  a career, or vocation 2) Nurturance:  caring and support while imparting elements of positive character development, and 3) Generativity, which reflects the instillation of intergenerational responsibility and knowledge of one’s values and culture to future generations.



Taylor-Starkewood accepts Medicaid, Medicare, most Private Insurances, Private Pay, and other local funding sources as applicable.
