Overview
Job listing expires on September 22, 2025.
Do you have lived experience raising your own child or being the legal guardian of a child that has received adolescent mental health services? We invite you to join the Kaiser Wrap team that’s supporting youth and families, building relationships, and making a positive impact in the community!
As the Family Partner you will focus on supporting families, particularly parents or caregivers, to actively engage in the decision-making process of their treatment. Drawing from personal experience as a consumer of mental health services, you’ll build trust and rapport through high-level engagement and alignment skills, serve as a collaborative advocate, and help caregivers navigate county systems and understand perspectives of team members. Services will predominantly occur in-person within Alameda County (San Leandro, Hayward, Union City, Fremont), with the opportunity to complete some of your responsibilities remotely.
