The STEP (Skills, Transitions, Exploration and Progress) Program is a partnership between Kaiser Permanente and Seneca with locations in Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, Sonoma, and Solano county. STEP provides intensive, short-term stabilization services to youth, ages 12-17, for an average of 15 days.
