About Fortis Care Collective

What We Do

Fortis Care Collective is a professional support organization based in Southern California specializing in crisis intervention and transition support. We provide intensive personal companionship, coaching, and coordination services to individuals and families navigating addiction recovery, mental health crises, and major life transitions. Our work addresses the dangerous gap that most clinical and institutional programs leave unaddressed — the period after acute care when vulnerability and relapse risk are highest and continued structured support is most needed.

Who We Serve

We work with individuals navigating addiction recovery, mental health challenges, and major life transitions—as well as their families and loved ones. We also partner with treatment providers, hospitals, EAPs, and clinical professionals who need trusted crisis and transition support resources for their clients. Whether you are a working professional seeking support during a crisis, a parent searching for help for your child, a treatment center looking for continuity-of-care partners, or a family navigating unexpected hardship — Fortis Care Collective is here. We believe crisis and transition do not discriminate, and neither do we. Our services are available to anyone ready to take the next step toward stability and resilience.

Who Builds This

Fortis Care Collective was co-founded by Nick K. Mortimer and Ignat "Iggy" Navalny — two professionals who bring lived experience and deep professional expertise to crisis intervention and transition support. Nick has 13 years of personal sobriety and seven years as a Professional Life Coach and Sober Companion. He has built and developed recovery and mental health programs, and is dedicated to helping people recognize their potential and rebuild their lives.

Iggy brings over four years of personal sobriety alongside a professional background in treatment center admissions, behavioral health, emergency crisis response, and peer support. Together, they lead a team grounded in empathy, accountability, and the belief that resilience, stability, and thriving are always possible with the right support. Their approach is holistic, personalized, and built on genuine human connection.
