A Health Navigation service
In addition to front-line services, a health navigation service will ensure continuity of care. This service will help you book appointments, guide you through the healthcare system or, in some cases, accompany you in person.
Psychosocial support
Family navigators help families overcome challenges and achieve their goals and aspirations, helping them to navigate the often complex path to resolving their difficulties and finding appropriate support services. The navigator puts families at the centre of decision-making and helps them build a better future.
Meet with a Knowledge Keeper
Elders are deeply respected individuals in various Indigenous communities, not least because they are the custodians of traditional teachings, cultural knowledge, spiritual connections and wisdom. That's why this culturally-based service will allow members of Native Montreal to get sound advice from a Knowledge Keeper.
