By rssfeeds-admin According to a news release from the county, NavigateHC helps users in need of mental health support, substance use disorder treatment, food pantries, Veteran services, foster care and more.
“The website was designed to quickly direct community members to behavioral health and wellness resources,” Monica Greer, the executive director of the Hamilton County Council on Alcohol and Other Drugs, said in the release. “Users simply enter their zip code and select the services they need. The website then populates a list of free support services—quickly and anonymously.”
The new website also allows users to request a “local navigator” who will be able to guide them through the process. A local navigator is a real person who is knowledgeable about available resources, the release said.
According to the KFF, around 33% of Indiana adults showed significant symptoms indicative of anxiety or depression.
“This app serves as a central clearinghouse of information—not just for individuals in need, but also for service providers, caregivers and local organizations,” County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt said in the release. “We’re proud to invest in a solution that will serve all corners of our community.”
The website cost $67,800 to develop and launch, the release said. The funds were obtained through opioid settlement dollars. For more information, click here.
