Healthcare is complicated.
We help people build the skills to actually use it.
The Healthcare Navigation Project (THNP) is a nonprofit education and training model that equips people with practical, transferable healthcare navigation, communication and self-advocacy skills through active learning and real-world practice.

Youth
What happens when it’s your turn to call the doctor?
What can you say when you feel brushed off? Who can help when you can’t get your medication? How do you find support when you’re overwhelmed?
In THNP’s hands-on workshops, young people work through situations like these and build skills to navigate their mental and physical healthcare…
Before they need them, instead of after when it’s too late.

Employees
We empower adults to equitably find, understand, and actually use their healthcare and make health-related decisions and actions for themselves and others.

“Informative, interactive & relevant.”
“As a school social worker, I’m well aware of the struggles adolescents face in our challenging healthcare system. Many do not have, or are even aware of the skills they will need. This program changed that for them! ”
“As a healthcare provider, I now have new skills to offer my patients to give them confidence as they prepare to navigate the healthcare system on their own.”
