Eckerd Connects' Lafayette Wraparound Agency offers program for youth & families

1. What is Eckerd Connects Wraparound and why is it so important for families here in the Acadiana area? Eckerd Connects Wraparound is a strength-based, family-driven program designed to help youth and families navigate serious emotional or behavioral challenges. Our goal is to prevent out-of-home placements by surrounding families with a team of caring professionals who work together to develop a customized plan of care. Here in Acadiana, families often face limited access to behavioral health resources—our program helps fill that gap by offering coordination, connection, and consistent support. 2. Can you share a success story that shows the real impact of these services? Absolutely. One of our young clients came to us struggling with emotional outbursts at home and in school. Through Wraparound, her family was supported with consistent coaching and coordination of care. She learned coping strategies, gained confidence, and started thriving academically. As part of our Eckerd Success Awards program, we were even able to furnish her bedroom—a small but powerful way to give her a space that felt safe and truly her own. It’s just one example of how we help children and families build brighter futures. 3. How can someone make a referral or learn more about getting help from Eckerd Connects?
