Treatment Navigator

The Wellness Collaborative’s Treatment Navigator is an interactive tool that helps identify the Evidence Based Practices (EBP) that are recommended based on diagnosis. Not sure what diagnosis applies in a given case? Try the Diagnostic Tool!

You can use the Treatment Navigator by browsing by diagnosis or treatment modalities.

The treatment navigator connects Diagnoses with the Evidence-Based Practice(s) that treat them. Here is a visual representation of the resource.
