About Navigation Services
Ho’oikaika System Navigation Services helps families access services and supports in Maui County. The social services system can be overwhelming and confusing and families may feel intimidated or embarrassed – which makes reaching out for help or following through on referrals very challenging. Our navigator acts as a “guide by the side” to coach families and provides a “warm hand off” so children and their caregivers actually connect with program services. By coordinating, communicating and collaborating across agencies, the navigator helps weave a seamless safety net.
What Does A Navigator Do?
1: Coordinate with Maui County programs and agencies to provide seamless services.
2: Direct services and community resources to eligible children and families:
– System navigation
– Parenting and life skills coaching
– Access to concrete supports to assist in stabilizing their lives
– Aftercare coaching to help heal from trauma
– A “warm hand-off” between clients/participants and programs
3: Community outreach and education to prevent CAN.
“This support came at a critical time. I find a lot of assistance doesn’t help until you’re already in crisis and I was so relieved to be able to avoid that. This gave me a much needed break and took a huge weight off my shoulders and allowed me to get things in order.”
The Navigator
Jayme Galase
Hoʻoikaika Navigator
Jayme currently works as the Lead Parent Educator at Maui Family Support Service(MFSS), Ka Pu’uwai ‘O Na Keiki DHS home visiting services as well as the MFSS/ Ho’oikaika Navigator.
Jayme works with families and gets them connected to the resources and services that they may need while focusing on protective factors. She believes that it is very important to share resources that are in the community to help families get through difficult times in their lives. She is willing to meet with families wherever they are and partner with them to help them work through barriers to make positive lasting changes for their ‘ohana. Jayme’s vision is to empower parents with her support to be their child/ren’s primary advocate.
“I believe that with my support and the support of resources in the community families can and will succeed.”
“The best way to describe my experience was almost like talking to a relative … I felt like she was speaking to me on my level and not above me.”
“Programs like these being navigated by the right hearts are a huge blessing to ‘ohana that needs the assistance and may not know how to ask. With a grateful heart, Thank you!!”
