Intake Coordinator

Are you passionate about helping youth and families find the right support when they need it most?

About the Role

As an Intake Coordinator, you’ll help connect youth and families to the right mental health services through our STEP program in Salinas. You’ll review referrals, screen youth for eligibility, communicate with families and community partners, and coordinate with our team to begin services quickly. When STEP isn’t the right fit, you’ll help families connect with other programs and resources. Your organization, communication, and follow-through will help ensure youth receive timely support during periods when they need it most.

ABOUT STEP

The STEP (Skills, Transitions, Exploration and Progress) Program is located in Salinas, CA. STEP provides intensive, day treatment short-term stabilization services to youth, ages 12 - 17, for an average of 15 days. Our goal is to reintegrate our youth into schools and the community with lower levels of outpatient mental health treatment. All groups are designed to teach youth the skills necessary to help them learn about their mental health, provide psychoeducation, and help them learn skills to feel better and be safe.
