Mary’s Care Navigation Story
“..Looking back now, I realise I was numb. I didn’t know what to expect. Who to ask advice of and how was I going to tell the children. The Care Navigation service linked me to a person with lived experience. They stayed with me for a few weeks and helped me through what were my darkest days…”
Mary was linked to:
- Counselling
- Resources to support her to talk to her children about their Dad’s death
- The Coroner’s social work service
- A WINGS peer support person offering information, advice and guidance as Mary needed.
Brian’s Care Navigation Story
When Brian’s son died, he experienced an anger that frightened him. “…I thought I was fine until about three weeks after the funeral, but then it hit me. I made sure my wife and daughters were ok. Made sure I was there for them and then I just had a rage….’
Brian reached out to a WINGS Care Navigator who:
- Listened to his story
- Linked him to a best fit counsellor in his local environment
- Helped him map out a safety plan for himself
- Linked him to a local support group that he now facilitates
