Mental health care navigator : ウィキペディア英語版 | Mental health care navigator A mental health care navigator is an individual who assists patients and families to find appropriate mental health caregivers, facilities and services. Individuals who are care navigators are often also trained therapists and doctors. ==Overview==
The need for mental health care navigators arises from the fragmentation of the mental health industry, which can often leave patients with more questions than answers. Care navigators work closely with patients and families through discussion and collaboration to provide information on best options and referrals to healthcare professionals, facilities, and organizations specializing in the patients’ needs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mhpcolorado.org/For-Clients-and-Employees/Navigation.aspx )〕 The difference between other mental health professionals and a care navigator is that a care navigator provides information and directs a patient to the best help rather than offering treatment.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thekimfoundation.org/html/finding_help/navigate-system.html )〕 Still, care navigators may provide diagnosis and treatment planning.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://merrittmentalhealth.com/services/health-services-consultations/#Care_Navigator_Assistance )〕 Mental health care navigation is also sometimes provided by self-help books. Lloyd I. Sederer, M.D.’s ''The Family Guide to Mental Healthcare'' (W. W. Norton & Company, 2013) is a resource for patients and families searching for guidance in the mental health industry. Publishers Weekly called it a “thoughtful, compassionate, and fact-packed guide for recognizing illness and getting help.” It provides information to patients and families about recognizing symptoms of mental illness, how to get diagnosis and how to choose the right therapists and treatments.
