Harford County’s LAM is carried out by Family Navigators that serve as a single point of access by which all families have opportunity to be linked with resources. Navigators are a key component of effective care coordination in a system of care. They provide linkage and referral services as well as help families formalize a plan of action to be able to meet their unique needs. Navigators also ensure that families are aware of how to access federal nutrition programs including Food Stamps, Free and Reduced Price School Meals, the School Breakfast Program and the Women, Infants and Children Program.

Families in need of support are linked with resources to help improve child and family functioning. Geographic emphasis is on zip code areas of Bel Air, Edgewood, Havre de Grace, Aberdeen and Joppa. Families self-refer.
