			1. Find solutions filtered by desired outcome (one of the seven circles at the top).

			2. Find solutions based on the Continuum of Care (one of the six elongated buttons on the bottom).

			A great option if you’re a professional working within one specific area on the continuum of care and only wish to view solutions within that field.
