PROGRAM COMPONENTS:

Care Communications: Upon enrollment, participants receive text messages and educational resources that promote and support their journey in the child welfare and foster care systems — topics include advocacy, community living, social determinants of health, employment, healthy living, safety, and security. GoMo (Secure) Chat: Much like a typical text conversation, GoMo Chat allows live messaging between participants and their care team, enabling in-the-moment, on demand conversations.

Care Companion: This cloud-based learning management system (LMS) provides vetted educational content that is personalized by members’ self-expressed priorities and interests, structured into easy-to-follow sections to promote independent education, learning and self-care management. Secure Data Collection and Reporting: Engagement and experience data is collected, deidentified, analyzed, and reported back to Care Teams for ongoing quality, clinical delivery and service improvement.

“Our Hub is a transformative tool that empowers transition age youth and their caregivers. We are committed to providing accessible, personalized support that meets individuals where they are, fostering resilience, and promoting positive outcomes for families across Georgia.”
