Description:

Life can be confusing when you need help with health care or community services. A navigator is an effective listener who understands how individuals and families can access complex services like health care, developmental and educational institutions, law and justice systems, mental health and addiction agencies, women’s centres, and social welfare systems, guiding people to the care they need.

Give yourself a competitive edge in the workforce by gaining an in-depth knowledge of resources across the province. Whether you’re a helping professional or new to the field, you’ll interact with a variety of professionals and rapidly build industry connections in this rewarding pursuit. From assessments and care plans to advocacy and motivational interviewing, you’ll train to be a pillar of support that can help people work through barriers and transform their lives.
