Supporting Evidence of the YAPWrap® Model's Success

Findings from external research studies contributed to YAP receiving recognition from several well-established institutions. To illustrate, YAP is included on the Office of Justice Programs' Crimesolutions.gov "Promising Programs" list and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) Model Programs Guide. In addition, the Annie E. Casey Foundation has identified the YAP wraparound advocacy program model as a "promising practice."
