ABOUT KAISER WRAPAROUND

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). Team members work with children and families providing services almost exclusively in the community: in families’ homes, schools, other community locations.
