extendedReach Foster Care Software Blog

At extendedReach, we pride ourselves on providing unrivaled customer service to our customers, but we wanted to take things a step further. We are so excited to announce KCare Academy!

For many kids, turning eighteen is an exciting milestone consisting of graduating high school, becoming an adult, and beginning the next chapter. For foster youth, it may feel more like being pushed out of the nest into the unknown, which can lead to feelings of anxiety and self-doubt. Aging out of foster care can be scary and supporting youth at this time is of the utmost importance. As many of our customers are absolute heroes with their contributions to the foster system, we’ve compiled a list of things both agencies and foster parents can do to help ease the transition.

If you ask the extendedReach foster care software team about the most rewarding parts of their job, there is a good chance they will talk about our inspiring customers. Social work is not easy, but our clients are truly making a difference. We are particularly impressed by the work of St. Vincent Family Services and wanted to highlight them in a blog post. Program Director Theresa Van Dootingh took some time to answer our questions so you can learn more about SVFS.

Using a company-wide software system can be a heavy lift for any organization.  Staying updated on new releases and trainings can be complicated when there isn't a single person in charge of managing the software for an organization.  That's why extendedReach recommends that each company has a System Administrator for extendedReach's foster care software.
