UTN Navigation Service

UTN aims to help students re-engage with academic activities and prevent recurrent crises, thereby reducing future hospital use. UTN was built through Expedited Experience-Based Co-Design, adapting navigator principles from youth mental health to the postsecondary context. The UTN service was developed jointly by the University of Toronto and CAMH and launched in fall 2022. Navigators collaborate with students to outline transition goals, assess transition readiness, and determine post-discharge care level and type. Upon admission to a CAMH clinical service, a student is assigned a trained navigator clinician who provides continuous, personalised support through care transitions. UTN is available to both domestic and international undergraduate and graduate students at all three UofT campuses who receive care at CAMH.
