ABOUT KAISER WRAPAROUND

This Kaiser Wraparound program is a partnership between Kaiser Permanente and Seneca, providing behaviorally focused mental health services to children and families.

Team members work with children and families providing services for the case load of 8 -10 clients almost exclusively in the community: in families’ homes, schools, other community locations within San Mateo County.
