About Us
The Crisis Navigation Project was a collaborative effort between Southern Regional AHEC, Duke University Medical Center, and NAMI – NC. The primary goal of the project was to promote the use of psychiatric advance directives (PADs) through training events in Mecklenburg, Durham, Wake and Cumberland counties from 2017 to 2021.
Training was designed to:
- Increase familiarity with PADs and how they can be helpful
- Recruit and train individuals to help facilitate the creation of PADs using a method developed by a Duke research team
- Assist providers and hospitals in knowing how to develop and respond to PADs, and how to incorporate them in quality care
This project was funded by a grant from The Duke Endowment. Southern Regional AHEC continues to offer training. Current course offering can be found here.
