Our Friend Navigation Program provides a magical spark to “fuse” the guidance and technical expertise of professional social work and clinical staff with the caring and encouragement of a faith-based organization to produce life-changing transformations. These individuals (“Friend(s)”) succeed in changing their narrative – how they think about themselves and how they see their futures. They tackle medical, mental health, and substance abuse barriers that have upended their worlds and challenged their ability to maintain employment. They gain the assistance to solve logistical problems and access resources which are at their disposal. And they do so with a pastor as their life coach who shows them that they are truly loved and worthy.
