ABOUT STEP

The Skills, Transitions, Exploration and Progress (STEP) Program is a partnership between Kaiser Permanente and Seneca Family of Agencies located in Concord, CA. STEP provides intensive, short-term stabilization services to youth, ages 12-17, for an average of 10 days. Our goal is to reintegrate our youth into schools and the community with lower levels of outpatient mental health treatment.

YOUR ROLE

The Registered Nurse (RN) is responsible for implementing and evaluating the nursing care delivered within the program, and for utilizing the nursing process to provide assessment, treatment planning, and evaluation of resident care within designated clinical areas. Clinicians provide family therapy, facilitate group therapy, provide clinical consultation, conduct risk assessments, and connect youth with long-term treatment resources through Kaiser Permanente and community partners.
