NAVIGATE Program Coordinator

Why M Physicians?

The NAVIGATE program at M Physicians is affiliated with the University of Minnesota Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, a leader in first episode psychosis care and research. The NAVIGATE program started in 2017 with the support of grant funds from the Minnesota Department of Human Services. NAVIGATE is an evidence-based coordinated specialty care program to treat first episode psychosis in schizophrenia spectrum disorders. This interdisciplinary team-based approach is resiliency- and recovery-focused. Team members work with individuals ages 15 to 40 years old, and their natural support persons, to help them understand their illness and develop skills that help them get back on track and live rich and meaningful lives. NAVIGATE involves a number of different interventions including medication management, individual resiliency training (IRT), help getting back to work or school (Supported Employment and Education or SEE), peer support, case management and care coordination, and family support and education. NAVIGATE team members are highly skilled at providing both clinical and non-clinical support and services to individuals and families impacted by a first episode of psychosis, whether that be in the clinic, community, or an individual's home. Team members are highly collaborative, attend weekly team meetings to discuss patient care, and receive one-to-one supervision from the program's director.
