Wraparound in Oregon

How did it come to Oregon?

In 2009, House Bill 2144 passed the Legislative Session, providing statutory direction for the Statewide Systems of Care and Wraparound Initiative (SOCWI). The legislation called for an advisory committee and a biennial report to the legislature on progress and cost of full implementation. Mental Health was named the lead administrative agency amongst Child Welfare, Juvenile Justice, and Education. From 2010 to 2013, three mental health organizations and eight counties were selected to be part of the demonstration sites for the pilot project. As a result of providing better health outcomes – that is better care at lower costs – in 2014, the SOCWI grant was awarded to 13 Coordinated Care Organizations (CCOs) across 30 counties. As of January 2017, all CCOs in Oregon have been implementing Wraparound.
