Program Type: Community-Based Services

To Make Referrals: Referrals come from Orange County Health Care Agency, long-term care facilities, and the community.

Who We Serve:

• Adults, 18 and older, who are residents of Orange County.


• Persons diagnosed with a serious mental illness who may have a co-occurring substance use disorder, and who may be privately or publicly LPS conserved.

About the Program: At Telecare's Striving Towards Enhanced Partnerships (STEPS) program in Orange County, you have the opportunity to connect with a group of people who are here to be your support team.

Our members come to us primarily from long-term care facilities and frequently are on LPS conservatorship. We believe that recovery starts from within and will do whatever it takes to support you on your recovery journey. We have a multidisciplinary team that includes psychiatrists and nurse practitioners, nurses, a master's-level team lead, a clinical director, personal service coordinators with experience working in mental health and co-occurring substance use, and specialists in housing, education and employment, who are all here to help you on your path. STEPS staff are trained to address the special needs of our members on LPS conservatorship and their families. We have a clinician who provides support to members and their families or significant others. We work closely with residential rehabilitation and board and care providers, where most of the STEPS members reside, to ensure collaboration of services.
