GET INVOLVED
Thank you for your interest in getting involved with our work here at Worcester Asylum Clinic. By lending your support, you’ll become a valuable part of our initiative in Central Massachusetts and help to strengthen ways in which we can help local asylum seekers take necessary steps towards achieving a safe and secure future.
Care Navigation Program
Many asylum seekers utilizing our services could benefit from additional resources and support beyond their evaluation. The Care Navigation Program will provide 1-1, longitudinal support to clients after their evaluation is complete to help them address some of their socioeconomic and health/wellbeing needs. Following an evaluation, a client interested in the program will be contacted by a Care Navigator to complete an intake and to discuss priorities for future check-in encounters. Navigators will connect clients with community-based resources (such as food banks, English courses, and religious and spiritual organizations) and can assist with access to the MassHealth Limited safety net and the online mental health platform Better Help for a discounted rate. Of note, we have $75 stipends to distribute to Care Navigation clients. There is now an option on the evaluation request form to indicate if your client might be interested in these services.
