Meet Atlas: The one platform you'll need for delivering, measuring, and scaling individualized programming

Written by The Change Companies | August 8, 2024

The Change Companies launches Atlas, a digital platform that merges evidence-based practices with technology to improve how you deliver person-centered care.

 

Evolving our products to meet individuals where they are 

The Change Companies has spent the last 35 years refining the evidence-based practice of Interactive Journaling® to meet each client’s unique needs. More recently, we’ve updated our curricula to incorporate the latest therapeutic best practices; we’ve enhanced our training offerings to improve fidelity; and we’ve been consistently seeking to understand how to better support individuals on their journey to better their lives.

Today, we're taking a critical step forward in this mission by launching Atlas, our digital platform which empowers justice and treatment agencies to effectively and efficiently deliver individualized programming. 

 

The growing challenge to provide flexible, measurable programming 

We support over 5,000 organizations each year and hear firsthand the challenges faced by our partners: 

  • Limited solutions built for digital-first needs: Agencies struggle to deliver quality evidence-based treatment or programming in remote settings and are finding that some participants are more receptive to digital consumption of cognitive behavioral programs.

  • Moving beyond “one-size-fits-all” programming: In order to provide the most impactful programming, organizations need to deliver cognitive behavioral interventions tailored to an individual’s specific needs. Standardized, programmatic curricula lack the flexibility and breadth of topics required to administer individualized and risk-need responsive programming.

  • Staffing shortages: Limited staff resources threaten program quality and sustainability.

  • Difficulties in proving program value: The movement towards value-based care in substance use disorder (SUD) treatment as well as greater accountability in the criminal justice sector means that demonstrating efficacy is crucial for sustainably running and expanding programs. The lack of integrated tools and resources to help with measurement makes it difficult for agencies to see the impact they are having. 

Leveraging technology to mitigate these pain points is more important than ever — and here at The Change Companies, we’re committed to doing what it takes to proactively improve and elevate the quality of treatment and programming for everyone involved. 

 

Atlas is a digital-first programming platform for facilitators, admins and participants.

 

Announcing Atlas, your digital platform to deliver evidence-based programming

Atlas leverages technology to help agencies deliver best-in-class programming with lasting, measurable results: 

  • Access programming digitally. Both clients and facilitators can access evidence-based programming right at their fingertips. Atlas offers hundreds of CBT and MI-rich topics from our growing Interactive Journaling® library, all delivered in a HIPAA compliant, mobile-friendly format. Facilitators can easily assign relevant curricula to each individual based on their specific needs, ensuring that every individual’s journey is personalized.
  • Engage participants at every step. Keep individuals motivated with interactive prompts, on-demand content and progress tracking. User-friendly onboarding gets participants started quickly while Atlas's intuitive design promotes continued engagement throughout the program. 
  • Reduce non-clinical workload. Atlas simplifies program administration and empowers agencies to deliver treatment more efficiently — without the need to increase staff or invest in additional tools. Assign content, view client responses and review participants' goals and progress before sessions, allowing for more focused and effective interventions. Admins can also easily manage seats by assigning and reassigning them as participants enter and exit programs.
  • Support data-driven programming. Track participant engagement at both the individual and organizational level. See how many journals are opened, which pages are completed, and which resources are accessed. Facilitators can use these insights to acknowledge each individual’s achievements and provide additional support to those who may need it.
  • Receive consultative partnership and industry expertise. The Change Companies offers extensive ongoing support and expertise, meaning we’re hands-on when you need us for anything from intervention recommendations to facilitator training and implementation.
