About
Truth guides the journey.
Our name is two words joined: navigate and veritas. Finding the way, by finding what is true.
Why the name
The order of those two words is the whole method.
Truth first, then navigation. Most care for young people runs the other way — it commits to a direction quickly, because the pressure to act is real and the waiting lists are long, and then spends years correcting course. We would rather spend the time at the start finding out what is actually true about a young person, and let the route follow from that.
It is a slower beginning and a faster journey.
The people behind it
A leadership team that has done this before.
