Wraparound of South Central Louisiana recently launched its new company brand. The new name, Ascent, and tagline, Life. Elevated., better reflects the company’s passion for helping others and provides an uplifting message to the people they serve. Ascent strives to elevate people from where they are today to where they can be tomorrow.
Wraparound Services of South Central Louisiana is a part of Wraparound Services of Northeast Louisiana, which started as a small non-profit in 2012. Wraparound Houma was started in 2014. Since that time, the 3 combined locations- Monroe, LA, Houma, LA and Memphis, TN, have provided support services to nearly 3,000 individuals. Each location is unique and the services they provide, while similar, are also different. A primary area of focus for the Houma office is on youth, ages 5-21, who are at risk of being placed out-of-home or in an alternative school due to complex social, behavioral or mental health issues.
“Our passion is to see families break cycles, move from conflict into unity, and turn hopelessness into empowerment,” said Curtis Eberts, Executive Director. “The name Wraparound is nationally thought of as a process, which was a point of confusion along with the common misperception that we wrap cars. Plus, our organization is growing with multiple locations and we are expanding our services beyond just wraparound services.”
“Our mission is to make a difference and create lasting change in families and individuals, so they are successful, and communities are stronger,” said Sara
Strader, Director of Clinical Services. “We believe that seeing people for who they are and not identifying them for that one behavior can shift and change our community.”
