Hey there!
Just a short announcement that the Official FAMCare User Forum was launched today. The forum has been something we've wanted to do for a while to help create a place for users to go to network with other FAMCare users and to find answers to their issues.

A long time contributor to our blog had this to share today about the negative state of our NEWS. It's amazing that when you actually take time to focus on the GOOD, you can easily push away all of the negative information that is thrown at us each day. When you are pounded every day with negative news - it can have an overwhelming effect on your psyche. Have you heard or seen any good news lately? Please feel free to share it here.

I recently read an article on the Social Work Degree Guide website. It enlightened me to the fact that while Social Workers are tirelessly working to find solutions for their clients in need, they rarely take the time to take care of their own needs. Unfortunately, more often than not it leads to burnout. Please read the article below for more information on some of the symptoms, causes and solutions to Social Worker Burnout.
I'm always interested in learning how caseworkers manage their days both when at work and when they leave work. Social work is not easy, not by far, but it can be so rewarding when you have the ability to impact the life of someone in a positive way. When I come across interesting information or a good article, I always look to share it with our community.
Permit me to excerpt the article, Yoga For Addiction by Kate Jackson in Social Work Today to discuss the use of yoga as part of the new therapeutic alternatives being tried by social workers facing the virtual epidemic of substance abuse.
FAMCare - from the front... appears to be similar to some of the other case management software tools on the market - but there is something you need to know... FAMCare is built on a powerful workflow and development platform. Visions Server is GVT's proprietary platform and "engine" that is configured for every customer - making their case management experience unique and very special.
How does it work? How will it save me time?
How can I change it and make it my own? Is it HIPAA compliant?
How will it help me attract more funding? How will it keep my caseworkers focused?
QUESTIONS everyone wants to know. We've developed a video series that reveals in 3-5 minute "VIDBITS"... live-action and video simulation answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about FAMCare CONNECT.
