Focus on Family and Disability Seminar Series: Family Navigators: An Effective Model to Build Equity for People with I/DD, Autism, TBI and Their Families

Trillium’s consumer and family advisory committees (CFAC) helped Trillium to develop a service that would create more Equity for people with IDD, TBI or Autism and their families called Family Navigator. Trillium launched this community-based service in rural eastern North Carolina with three provider agencies and 2 large primary care practices in eastern NC. Family Navigators work directly with the person and their caregivers often family members to navigate all the community-based systems and supports available to people with IDD, TBI or Autism. Family Navigators are a whole person all systems approach providing guidance and support throughout the life span for a person with IDD, TBI or Autism. This service is an integral part of the system that delivers Equity for this population.
