Project details

What we need
  • Creation of an E-Newsletter from scratch, or an overhaul of an existing one
  • Training on how to input content into a template
What we have in place
  • We currently have an email distribution list in Constant Contact, which is the program we also use to develop our E-newsletters.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to provide 12 weeks of home-based health and wellness coaching for an individual with special health care needs.

Providing access to needed programs, services and resources is the central goal of the Family Resource Network. The template of our current Health E-newsletter is not compatible with all devices and has become difficult to navigate for the families we serve. This project will provide user-friendly access to much needed health and wellness information for people with special health care needs, chronic conditions, and their families.
