the care team
The path to success in the community begins with a Wraparound Team matched to meet each young person's unique needs. The team starts with a Clinician and Case Manager. Peer Partners, Family Partners, and Family Specialists can also be made available, depending on the wants and needs of the young person and his or her family. Team members works together to connect and wrap the youth and family with services that establish systems of support in the community, manage mental illness, and teach safe and positive behaviors that are essential for success in all aspects of life.
Clinicians: Clinicians provide treatment plan development, mental health services, and therapy.
Case Managers: Case Managers assist in finding resources within the community. They also aid youth in their finances and budgeting, SSI applications and management, education, rehabilitation, legal matters, finding vocational services, and housing.
Peer Partners: Peer Partners work out of the Drop-In Center and assist youth in developing Independent Living Skills, and interpersonal skills.
Family Partners: Family Partners provide support and serve as advocates for youths' primary caretakers.
Turning Point operates a Drop-In Center open to all San Mateo County transitional-aged youth and young adults, ages 15-25. The Drop-In Center provides a safe and supportive environment for young adults to identify needed services and develop educational, social, vocational skills, and independent living skills. At the Drop-In Center, Peer Partners also facilitate support groups that are beneficial for youth development.
