Family-Centered Communication For Child Welfare Cases

Sunlight improves communication by connecting families involved in child welfare cases with their teams, bringing everyone and all case-related communication together on one secure, HIPAA-compliant platform, accessible by an app or web browser.

The goal: shorten youths’ time in foster care and reunify families safely, sooner.

Poor communication creates costly delays; Sunlight changes that.

Miscommunication, lack of communication and misunderstanding may seem like a normal part of serving in child welfare, but they don’t have to be. 
 
What if you could connect everyone – and everything – involved in each case in one secure place? Sunlight can help you do this for case-related communication and for all of your case management needs.

100% of California youth in foster care are eligible for Enhanced Care Management under CalAIM.

Today fewer than 10% receive those services.

Together we can change that.

Reduce the chaos. Improve outcomes.

Think of how much time you spend today working to connect with your clients and make sure they know what they need to do next. 

Sunlight reduces the chaos, bringing all activity together in one place, and making it easy to review and retrieve when you need it. 

With Sunlight you can do more of the work you were meant to do and remove the communication obstacles that derail case management, so families can navigate the process and reunify safely and sooner.

Collaborate with your clients to collect and store documents.

Clients can take photos or screenshots and quickly upload them as evidence. And you can collect and store key documents for secure, easy access.

Create and manage tasks, notes for yourself, your client or their team.

Remind yourself, your client and/or team members of important tasks and due dates. Like the calendar, automatic reminders keep everyone informed and accountable.

 

You can even add and store case notes.

Your client’s case history is now portable.

The only certainty in child welfare is change. Now when a client is transitioned to a new caseworker or mentor their case history goes with them, making those transitions clearer and less chaotic.
