Resource Navigation & Community Connections

Finding the right resource is often more complicated than simply locating a phone number or website.

Little Light of Mine provides individualized resource navigation designed to help clients understand their options, identify appropriate outside services, prepare for referrals when needed, and move forward with the next appropriate step.

Services Provided Directly by Little Light of Mine

Little Light of Mine directly provides a range of non-clinical support services, including:

These services do not require referral to another provider when they are within the scope and availability of Little Light of Mine.

Resources We Can Help You Locate & Navigate

When a client’s needs extend beyond the services Little Light of Mine provides directly, we may assist with identifying and navigating outside resources such as:

More Than a Resource List

Our role is not simply to hand someone a list of organizations and expect them to figure out the rest.

Individualized resource navigation may include:

Referral Support

Some outside organizations require a professional referral, assessment, application, appointment, or specific eligibility criteria before services can begin.

When a referral is necessary, Little Light of Mine can assist the client with understanding the referral process, identifying an appropriate resource, and coordinating next steps within the scope of our services.

Acceptance, eligibility, placement, and availability are ultimately determined by the receiving organization.

Community Partnerships & Professional Connections

Little Light of Mine works to develop and maintain relationships with community organizations, behavioral health providers, treatment programs, housing resources, workforce programs, and other community-based services.

These professional connections allow us to better understand available programs and provide more informed resource navigation based on each client’s individual circumstances.

Little Light of Mine is not affiliated with every organization to which a client may be connected, and a referral does not guarantee acceptance or services.

We Do Not Stop at the First Option

Sometimes the first resource is full, unavailable, does not accept the client’s funding source, has eligibility requirements the client does not meet, or simply is not the right fit.

When that happens, the resource-navigation process does not automatically end.

Within the scope of the client’s service, Little Light of Mine will continue exploring appropriate alternatives and available options rather than relying on a single referral.

Our goal is to help the client move toward a workable next step.

Individualized Resource Navigation

Every person’s circumstances are different.

A resource that is appropriate for one client may not be appropriate for another. Resource-navigation sessions allow us to consider factors such as:

Because Little Light of Mine provides transportation assistance directly when available, transportation needs can also be considered as part of the client’s overall support plan.
