It was an honor to have the National Criminal Justice Association feature Untapped Solutions on their podcast! 🎙️✨ We had the opportunity to discuss how Untapped Solutions is transforming the case management landscape, offering state agencies new ways to collaborate with us. We also shared detailed analytics on key issues like case worker fatigue 😓, the lack of technology in many nonprofit settings 🖥️, and the unfortunate reality that in the in the U.S thier is only 1 client-facing staff member for every 500+ people who need services. By pairing technology with human expertise 🤝, we believe we can make a real difference in reentry services and improve outcomes for those in need. 💪 Exciting times ahead as we continue working toward greater impact! 🌍🚀 #CaseManagement #ReentryPrograms #NonprofitTech #UntappedSolutions #CriminalJustice #TechForGood
