Join Our Compassionate Team

Telecare's mission is to deliver excellent and effective behavioral health services that engage individuals in recovering their health, hopes, and dreams. Telecare continues to advance cultural diversity, humility, equity, and inclusion at all levels of our organization by hiring mental health peers, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, veterans, and all belief systems.

Telecare is partnering with San Diego County Behavioral Health to open a new program dedicated to helping individuals with untreated mental illness engage and connect to services. CARE Court Outreach is part of California's Community, Assistance, Recovery, and Empowerment (CARE) Act, a new approach to help unhoused individuals with severe mental illness engage with and access the support they deserve.
CARE Court Outreach is a person and client-centered, mission-driven program that reaches out to folks who might otherwise be unserved. Our goal is to help support people and fill the gap in our healthcare systems to create a meaningful entry into care.
