Systems Navigation

The Systems Navigation Program is a voluntary, goal-driven, case management program for men & women who have been recently released from a provincial correctional centre and/or are being supervised on probation or parole in Kawartha Lakes & Peterborough. Referrals must be made by institutional staff (e.g., Community Reintegration Officers, Social Workers, Discharge Planners, etc.) for those currently incarcerated, or by Probation and Parole Officers in Kawartha Lakes & Peterborough. We are not able to accept self or community agency referrals. The Systems Navigation team works with clients one-on-one to establish an individual intervention plan outlining their needs & the steps necessary to meet their desired outcomes. The Systems Navigation Program can support clients with any goals, including but not limited to:

• Obtaining identification
• Acquiring basic necessities including clothing & hygiene supplies
• Securing income through Ontario Works (OW) or Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP)
• Accessing shelter or searching for housing
• Food supports & assistance with food bank pick-ups
• Accessing healthcare or scheduling medical & dental appointments
• Connecting to community mental health or addictions supports
• Support in attending appointments (e.g., Probation, Court, Fourcast, CMHA, etc.)
• Income tax assistance
• Social supports
