Summary

The Mental Health navigator is an experienced family member of an individual with serious emotional disturbance who provides peer mentoring and support. Patient navigators build working relationships, solve problems, and support patients while they learn to self-navigate the system of care. Navigators reduce barriers that keep patients from getting timely treatment by identifying patient needs and assist them in accessing sources of emotional, financial, administrative, or cultural support. The Mental Health Navigator will help families gain the skills, tools, and supports needed to be independent and confident.
