About the position

As the Therapist on the team you will play a vital role in helping youth achieve their treatment goals through culturally informed and best practice modalities. You will cultivate relationships with community members, providers, and other support systems and provide crisis intervention as needed. Services will predominantly occur in-person within the San Leandro/Hayward/Union City/Fremont community, with the opportunity to complete some of your responsibilities remotely. This Kaiser Wraparound program is a partnership between Kaiser Permanente and Seneca Family of Agencies, providing behaviorally focused mental health services to children and families. The program aims to provide children and their families with the support and services they need for children to maintain the lowest level of care possible and avoid out of home placements (group homes, juvenile hall, and hospitalization).
