What is a service navigator?

Service Navigators are professionals who assist individuals in accessing and coordinating various services, such as healthcare, social support, housing, or community resources. They act as guides, helping clients understand their options, complete necessary paperwork, and overcome barriers to receiving assistance. Service Navigators often work with vulnerable populations to ensure they receive the support they need by connecting them to appropriate programs and resources. Their goal is to make service systems easier to understand and navigate for those who may otherwise struggle.
