BECOME A CERTIFIED HEALTH NAVIGATOR


HEALTH NAVIGATION

Health Navigation is a culturally responsive, promising practice intervention
designed to provide the services, skills and confidence which consumers with
serious mental illness need to self-manage their healthcare. After completing an
intensive, specialized training course combining classroom instruction and
coaching in real-world settings, each certified Health Navigator works with
consumers to “bridge” the mental health, primary healthcare, and specialty
healthcare systems.

HEALTH NAVIGATOR CERTIFICATION TRAINING

Pacific Clinics Training Institute’s Health Navigator Certification Training
Program, also known as Peer Health Navigation, is a promising practice conducted
through the Pacific Clinics Training Institute (PCTI) in collaboration with the
USC School of Social Work. PCTI is the only approved training provider of this
certification. The program is designed to train the behavioral health workforce
and other social service providers to teach consumers to effectively “navigate”
the medical healthcare system through the development of self-management skills.
Health Navigation provides a viable solution to the problem of early mortality
faced by those with serious mental illness. The Health Navigator Certification
Training Program prepares agencies to implement healthcare reform through the
provision of integrated services.

The training program includes 40 hours of classroom instruction (virtual or
live), 4 coaching sessions and includes a Health Navigator Intervention Manual
which describes in detail the skills and competencies needed to serve as a
Health Navigator.

Ideal audience for this training includes:

 * Peer Support Specialists
 * Community Health Workers
 * Case Managers
 * Peer Advocates
 * Family members and others
 * Private Cohort: Up to 40 participants from one organization. Offered onsite
   at the agency upon request. (Multiple agencies (2-4) can host a collaborative
   agency cohort, sponsoring designated agency staff for certification.)
 * Community Cohort: Up to 40 participants from several organizations. Each
   agency is encouraged to sponsor 2 -10 staff members to receive training in
   the community cohort offered at PCTI.

To request information for a private cohort training for your agency, please
contact: PCTI@pacificclinics.org


PUBLISHED ARTICLES ON HEALTH NAVIGATION

Health Navigation Certification Training – A Widely Recognized Program
The Health Navigator Training Program and Health Navigation intervention itself
has received federal recognition through multi-year funding from the UniHealth
Foundation and PCORI (Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute). Based on
this success, the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (LACDMH) has
sponsored individuals for training from the Department and contracted providers
since 2012.

OUR TESTIMONIALS

“With the Health Navigation Training I learned how to coach our consumers to get
a better quality of life.  When I first engaged one consumer, I was surprised to
learn he had not seen a primary care physician for 10 years.  I took him to see
a doctor who had me accompany the consumer to the ER immediately. This consumer
was not aware he had diabetes and because of his poor health, one of his toes
had to be amputated.  

When released from the hospital, the consumer continued to eat unhealthy foods
but after three months of continued coaching he made significant progress. He
now measures his blood sugar level three times a day and records the results. He
brings his records to his doctor’s appointments. He is now eating healthier
foods and has started walking 10 to 15 minute per day despite his amputated toe.
”  
- Boy Wong, Health Navigator/Peer Advocate, Pacific Clinics, Asian Pacific
Family Center – Chinese Integrated Service Management Program
"Health Navigation Training helped me in engaging consumers to start a
conversation about their physical healthcare. The engagement skills allowed me
to establish a trust and rapport with consumers that has led to them having a
medical doctor for the first time in many years."
- Reba Stevens, Older Adult Community Outreach Advocate with Los Angeles County
Department of Mental Health – Older Adult Community Outreach Advocate Project
"One of the consumers I work with on Skid Row is schizophrenic and has been
homeless for five years. The Health Navigation Training taught me engagement
tactics and the right wording to use to talk to her about her physical health.
She’s now on medication and her mental health is improving a lot."
- Cheryl Morris, Peer Advocate with the JWCH Institute, Inc.
"When you take care of something that you’ve been afraid to do, such as seeing a
primary care doctor, it really boosts your self-esteem. You feel empowered. "
- Catherine Clay, Peer Advocate Volunteer with the Women's Community
Reintegration Services and Education Center
"The 75-year-old consumer whom I’ve been working with had cervical cancer and
had an operation about three years ago, but she never went to any follow-up
appointments. Using what I learned in the Health Navigation training, I started
working with her to see a surgeon for a colonoscopy. I'd hate to think how much
longer she would have gone without follow-up treatment if she wasn't working
with a Health Navigator. Health Navigation really helps reluctant consumers who
have not wanted to access primary care services. When consumers work one-on-one
with a Health Navigator, it's hard for them to keep putting off seeing a
doctor."
- Vera Calloway, Service Extender/Peer Advocate with the Los Angeles County
Department of Mental Health – Special Service for Groups/Older Adult Program
“With the Health Navigation Training I learned how to coach our consumers to get
a better quality of life.  When I first engaged one consumer, I was surprised to
learn he had not seen a primary care physician for 10 years.  I took him to see
a doctor who had me accompany the consumer to the ER immediately. This consumer
was not aware he had diabetes and because of his poor health, one of his toes
had to be amputated.  

When released from the hospital, the consumer continued to eat unhealthy foods
but after three months of continued coaching he made significant progress. He
now measures his blood sugar level three times a day and records the results. He
brings his records to his doctor’s appointments. He is now eating healthier
foods and has started walking 10 to 15 minute per day despite his amputated toe.

"Health Navigation Training helped me in engaging consumers to start a
conversation about their physical healthcare. The engagement skills allowed me
to establish a trust and rapport with consumers that has led to them having a
medical doctor for the first time in many years."
- Reba Stevens, Older Adult Community Outreach Advocate with Los Angeles County
Department of Mental Health – Older Adult Community Outreach Advocate Project
"One of the consumers I work with on Skid Row is schizophrenic and has been
homeless for five years. The Health Navigation Training taught me engagement
tactics and the right wording to use to talk to her about her physical health.
She’s now on medication and her mental health is improving a lot."
- Cheryl Morris, Peer Advocate with the JWCH Institute, Inc.
"When you take care of something that you’ve been afraid to do, such as seeing a
primary care doctor, it really boosts your self-esteem. You feel empowered. "
- Catherine Clay, Peer Advocate Volunteer with the Women's Community
Reintegration Services and Education Center
"The 75-year-old consumer whom I’ve been working with had cervical cancer and
had an operation about three years ago, but she never went to any follow-up
appointments. Using what I learned in the Health Navigation training, I started
working with her to see a surgeon for a colonoscopy. I'd hate to think how much
longer she would have gone without follow-up treatment if she wasn't working
with a Health Navigator. Health Navigation really helps reluctant consumers who
have not wanted to access primary care services. When consumers work one-on-one
with a Health Navigator, it's hard for them to keep putting off seeing a
doctor."
