How a Veteran Navigator can help
The Veteran Navigator can assist you with:
Accessing other community resources such as housing, employment, or health care.
Enrolling in mental health services or substance use disorder treatment services at Sanilac CMH or with other providers.
The Veteran Navigator can get you linked with support groups.
Veteran Navigators act as advocates on behalf of Veterans
It is our goal to provide assistance and support to Veterans and their families when working through a mental illness or substance abuse challenge. We will serve as advocates on behalf of the Veteran, providing any necessary information to those agencies or providers based on the specific needs.
Why use a Veteran Navigator?
- We’re advocates. Because Navigators are located in your community, we’ll advocate for you there.
- We’re connected. We work directly with the county, state, and federal VA levels.
- We’re knowledgeable. We don’t just work in the VA systems; we know the many resources.
- We’re here to help. We listen, advise, and point you in the right direction.

Veteran Navigators can help you navigate the VA system and access the care you need.
Veteran Navigators assist Michigan Veterans and their families as they work through the many systems of Veterans Affairs for help with mental health, substance abuse, and more.
Navigators across the state serve as local subject-matter experts in their regions to help Veterans navigate systems during times of duress.
By maintaining close relationships with other states and county Veteran organizations, Navigators are always up to date on changes through the Department of Veterans Affairs
