Person-Directed Linkage
The map centers needs the client recognizes, readiness, priorities, and realistic next steps rather than imposing unsupported priorities.
Health & Social Service Linkage Map
The Health & Social Service Linkage Map is a ready-to-complete-together tool for practitioners and clients when health, social, or recovery needs extend beyond the immediate service. It helps organize client-recognized needs, priorities, readiness, selected supports, barriers, and a realistic next step.

Tool guide
Learn more about this tool
Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
Follow-Up Status
The result can show reported pathway states such as planned, attempted, linked, or barrier remains when those states are entered.
Limits
The tool does not determine eligibility, verify service availability, or provide broad directory functionality.
Is this a referral directory?
No. It is a person-directed linkage map, not a broad service directory.
Can practitioner concerns be recorded?
Yes, but client-recognized needs must remain distinct from practitioner concerns.
What if there is no realistic next step yet?
The map can preserve the barrier and unresolved state for follow-up.
What is saved after the demo?
The fixed linkage map tool is saved into the practitioner's account. Fictional demo needs, support options, and barriers are not saved as real client data.
