The Navigator is an online portal developed to assist officers by providing resources relating to case management activities such as case planning and risk management. Essentially, it provides activities to be used with clients to address concerns in both risk (Stable and Acute) and Protective domains. The activities can be completed during office visits or assigned as homework. The skills section provides direction to officers regarding how to address each particular area of concern (i.e., all DRAOR items). Notwithstanding some overlap across DRAOR items, the activities and skills are specific to each item.
