# Trusted Partners: Guzman & Baker Community Network

> Meet Guzman & Baker's trusted community partners — RESTkc and Sarah McCune, NP — and learn how coordinated care through these partnerships benefits you.

Guzman & Baker works with a small network of trusted community partners to provide you with well-rounded, coordinated care. When your treatment needs extend beyond therapy alone, we can connect you with partners who meet our standards for quality and compassionate care.

## Our partners

If your therapist believes RESTkc's programs may benefit you, they will discuss this with you and help facilitate a warm referral. You are never required to engage with any partner organization — all referrals are made with your input and consent.

## How partner referrals work

Your therapist at Guzman & Baker may recommend a partner resource when it would meaningfully support your treatment. Here is what the process looks like:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Discussion">
    Your therapist will explain why they believe a referral may help and answer any questions you have about the partner.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Your consent">
    All referrals require your consent. Your therapist will ask for written permission before sharing any information with a partner provider.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Warm introduction">
    In many cases, your therapist will make a direct introduction to the partner provider on your behalf, helping you get started smoothly.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Coordinated care">
    With your permission, your Guzman & Baker therapist and the partner provider will communicate periodically to ensure your care is aligned.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  You can ask your therapist about community resources and partner services at any time during your treatment, even if a referral has not been suggested. Your therapist is a good resource for helping you find support beyond the therapy room.
