Anwer: No, a family cannot choose to discharge early if they are mandated by the Department of Social Services (DSS) to participate in High Fidelity Wraparound (HFW).

SNCD.
What is Implementation/Transition.
When a family is confident enough to take the lead and facilitate their own Child and Family Team Meeting (CFTM), they are typically between the Implementation Phase and the Transition Phase.
Why?
Implementation Phase:
During this phase, the team practices collaboration, builds skills, and increases family voice and choice. Families begin taking on more leadership as they gain confidence and mastery of the process.
Transition Phase:
This phase begins when the family is able to sustain progress independently, demonstrate strong natural support networks, and lead their own team structure without heavy reliance on the facilitator.
So, when a family is facilitating their own CFTM, it’s a strong indicator they are transitioning toward graduation and long‑term independence.

Skipping a phase in High Fidelity Wraparound disrupts the fidelity, flow, and intended outcomes of the model. Each phase builds on the previous one.
Skipping the Engagement & Team Preparation Phase means the team has not built trust, gathered full SNCD information, stabilized crises, or prepared the family and team.
If the Planning Phase is skipped or rushed, the team won’t develop a strong, family-driven Initial Plan of Care.
