These podcasts, excerpted from an August 2017 webinar, focus on how behavioral health organizations and providers can provide navigation services to their clients with serious mental illness (SMI) and common chronic physical health conditions. These podcasts explore components of navigation services including personalized health coaching and wellness planning as well as actions navigators can take to link these individuals and their families to essential health and community services. These podcasts feature six condition-specific navigation tip sheets that highlight considerations related to the management of SMI and other physical conditions including diabetes, hypertension, congestive heart failure, HIV/AIDS, and COPD and asthma and smoking cessation.

Kimberly Smathers - Navigation Tip Sheets to Support Clients with SMI and Physical Health Conditions

Individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) are less likely to receive coordinated care due to insufficient linkages between mental health care and other services. Navigation services coordinate care between the individual, the community, and the entire care team, leading to more holistic and person-centered care. These podcasts, excerpted from an August 2017 webinar, review the Navigation Services In Behavioral Health – Organizational Assessment Tool (NAV OAT), a resource that assists organizations in assessing their ability provide navigation services to clients with SMI and to identify gaps and concrete next steps in the form of a customized action plan.
