Job Description:
The Family Partner is a formal member of the Kaiser Wraparound
team whose role is to serve the family (particularly the caregiver
and other natural supports), and help them engage and actively
participate on the team, in order to make informed decisions that
drive the Wraparound process. Family Partners have a strong
connection to the community and are very knowledgeable about
resources, services, and supports for caregivers. The Family
Partner's personal experience as a consumer of mental health
services is critical to building rapport and trust with caregivers,
and advocating for their needs, when necessary. The Family Partner
can, at times, be a mediator, facilitator, or bridge between
families and agencies. The Family Partner ensures each family is
heard and their individual needs are being addressed and met. This program is a partnership between Kaiser Permanente and
Seneca, providing behaviorally focused mental health services to
children and families. These services, which are child and family
focused and strength based, are provided in the office and
community, including, but not limited to schools, hospitals, and
family homes. Seneca Family of Agencies is committed to providing
traditionally marginalized communities a network of outstanding
mental health, community based, and educational services.
Celebrating diversity and creating a culture of inclusion increases
creativity, innovation, problem solving, and teamwork. Seneca's
agency-wide DEI Advisory Board, Employee Resource Groups, and
Language Practice Groups help our employees provide culturally and
linguistically relevant services to the families we serve. For more
