Transferring your care
When transferring your mental health or disability care to Navigating Health, there are several steps involved. First, you can provide your current provider with written authorization to release your medical records to Navigating Health. Then, we will review your medical history and assess your current needs. We will make an initial appointment with you to get a complete picture of your health. Once we have all the necessary information, Navigating Health will work with you to develop a customized care plan that meets your individual needs and goals. Throughout the process, communication and coordination between your current provider and Navigating Health is essential to ensure a smooth transition of care.

Common questionnaires we may send during this process
- The Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21): is a concise self-report tool designed to measure the negative emotional states of depression, anxiety, and stress. The DASS-21 is widely used in both clinical and research settings for its efficiency and robust psychometric properties. It provides separate scores for each subscale as well as an overall score for general mental health, aiding in the identification and differentiation of these three common emotional states.
- Other questionnaires to be determined by requirements listed on patient referrals.
