Communication breakdowns are a leading cause of court delays in child welfare cases.
Delays are financially costly, but more important is the heart-breaking costs of extending a child's time in foster care and delaying family reunification
Sunlight is an accessible, secure app that connects parent and youth clients with their team – attorneys, caseworkers, social workers and mentors – using a smart phone or web browser.
Clear communication reduces avoidable delays, builds trust, protects clients’ rights.
Sunlight Health creates a bridge for MCPs to deliver ECM and Community Support services to engage hard-to-reach populations of focus:
Clients are often in a state of crisis. They may have unstable housing, relational turmoil or other situations that make it difficult, if not impossible, to keep up with that paperwork.
“For me as an attorney representing parents against a massive system, Sunlight is game-changing. Now they can screenshot evidence immediately and upload it. All I need is evidence that they’re doing what they’ve been ordered to do.”
I can prove my client showed up at the visit and no one brought the children.
I can prove the email notifying them of their family team meeting was sent 15 minutes after it started because someone forgot.
I can prove my client went to the center to start parenting classes and there was no referral.
CASA/GAL advocates (staff and volunteers) now have a “pocket full of sunshine” for communication and case management.
Sunlight gives CASA/GAL programs a more complete picture of what’s happening on their cases, with high-quality, up-to-date reporting for court, volunteer tracking and secure client messaging.
No more missed text messages or wrong numbers. Sunlight connects advocates with their youth via secure messaging, voice and video calling, tagged to their case.
Aside from in-person meetings, all volunteer activities are conducted and captured on Sunlight, including time logs, notes and communication with their youth clients
No more communicating over volunteers’ personal emails or phones. Now all communication happens on Sunlight's HIPAA-compliant platform.
