Community Navigation: Village 101

This podcast episode explores "Community Navigation," a novel universal prenatal psychosocial system of care designed to support expecting families. Developed by researchers at Duke University, Community Navigation pairs pregnant parents with trained navigators who co-identify family strengths and unmet needs across maternal mental health, childcare, housing safety, and healthcare access. In its latest refined protocol (Version 2.1), 98% of participating families reported at least one unmet need, and 66% successfully connected with local community resources. Tune in to discover how this light-touch screening and triage program bridges critical service gaps, drives high satisfaction, and supports overall family well-being
