1. Use the NYS Multiple Systems Navigator website (http://bit.ly/2aejHhJ) to access helpful health, education human service and disability information on one user-friendly website. Built for youth, parents, family members and caregivers that rely on support and services from multiple child and family serving systems.
   
2. Change is difficult for most people and is often more difficult for individuals who rely on a carefully crafted set of services. When youth move from one system to another, families and youth are often fearful of service gaps and setbacks. Early planning is key to a smooth transition. View the NYS Multiple Systems Navigator’s Transition to Adulthood section (http://bit.ly/2aznNFO) to be better prepared.
   
   
3. A core component of the NYS Multiple Systems Navigator is a comprehensive mapping tool (http://bit.ly/2ahslw6) that provides program, service and family/peer support information. This tool provides driving directions, contact information and hours of operation.
   
   
4. Finding and coordinating services for children with #SpecialNeeds can be very challenging, especially when you first begin your journey. Visit the Essentials for Navigating Multiple Human Service Systems section (http://bit.ly/2azmK9f) of the NYS Multiple Systems Navigator website for some essential tips that should help make that journey a smoother one.
   
   
5. The moment you begin talking with individuals from government agencies and service providers, you will be bombarded with terms and acronyms that can often be overwhelming. Visit the NYS Multiple Systems Navigator to learn terms and acronyms (http://bit.ly/2aNjkvB) used in health and human services. You will also have the opportunity to suggest a new term and/or acronym for inclusion to this database if you find one missing.
   
   
6. There is nothing worse than needing assistance and not being able to talk to a person. Check out the “Talk to Someone Now” (http://bit.ly/2ael00l) section of the Multiple Systems Navigator website to view hotline information organized by category. The Multiple Systems Navigator website has been built for mobile first. If you access this page from your phone or tablet, all telephone numbers will be hot links.
