May Update

Family Proud Liaison Update

Last month, we announced the official launch of our Family Proud Liaison Program and we are excited to share that we have interacted with several families. We have not only provided resource recommendations and learned about their specific needs and caregiving barriers but we have also been able to provide them with a hands on walk through of the sign up and circle creation process. We are so privileged to be able to help families and support them as they navigate their respective care journey but by way of the launch of the Liaison Program, we have received feedback that has only further solidified our mission to provide meaningful support that matters. Families are reconnecting and communicating with each other all in their collective desire to support and care for their loved ones. We have also received feedback that the Family Proud app is very user-friendly and intuitive to navigate. After only a month, the Family Proud Liaison Program has only increased our ability to help as many families in need and we are proud to grow this program and heighten our ability to impact the lives of families facing hardship.

Timely and Direct Support!

In an effort to make it as easy as possible for our community to communicate with us, we have integrated the ability to speak directly with our Family Liaison’s through the Family Proud platform. Internal messaging allows you to communicate with our team in real time to ask questions, share feedback, or inquire about further assistance. The integration not only exists on our app but users who visit the Family Proud website will also be able to utilize this service.  Please check out the new support messaging feature on the Family Proud app or on our website. We are here for you and ready to chat!On May 4th, Shannon from our Family Liaison team represented Family Proud at the Central Texas Seniors Conference. The event saw 130+ attendees throughout the day from Central Texas. It was a great opportunity to meet their families and learn about community resources designed to meet the aging population's needs.The event focused on healthy and successful aging and highlighted several informative speakers. There was a lot of excitement and interest in Family Proud, and we are so excited to welcome more families from Central Texas into the Family Liaison program!
