Abstract

This article reports on the Family Inclusion Project, which trialled a 'Wraparound' casework approach to working with young offenders in a regional town in New South Wales, Australia. The project focused on reducing re-offending by improving engagement with family and community support services and improving interagency collaboration. Although the project was a small scale, short-term pilot, it provided rich insight into the complex lives of Juvenile Justice clients and their families. This article highlights important issues in implementing a Wraparound casework model in a regional community.
