Exploring how Equip’s advancements shape a smarter, more empowered future.

More Control Over Your Data

You can now customize key data properties—including Disability Types and Discharge Reasons—just like Categories. This gives organizations greater flexibility to reflect how you actually track and report information.

• Manage these fields directly from Account Settings

• Add, edit, or organize values to match your workflows

• Maintain consistency across reporting and documentation

Easier Supporter Management

Managing who supports whom just got simpler.

You can now manage a participant’s supporters directly from Participant Settings, and updates automatically reflect on both sides—no duplicate work required.

• Add or remove supporters in one place

• Changes sync across participant and supporter profiles

• Fewer clicks, less confusion

Clearer Connections at a Glance

We’ve added new profile list views to make relationships easier to understand—fast.

New Supporters View (Participant Profile)

• Quickly see all supporters connected to a participant

New Supported Participants View (Team Member Profile)

• Instantly view which participants a team member supports

These updates bring clarity to team relationships and help everyone stay aligned.

✨ Built from your feedback, these updates focus on clarity, connection, and efficiency—so your team can spend less time navigating the system and more time supporting meaningful progress.

Building confidence, how Equip supports independence every day.

Year-Ahead Goal-Setting Starts With Reflection

As teams prepare for the year ahead, many organizations are holding goal-setting and planning meetings with participants. These moments matter. Looking back on progress helps individuals recognize what’s working and feel ownership over what comes next.

In Equip, reviewing completed goals, routines, and past notes creates a shared starting point—so planning is grounded in real experience, not guesswork.

Turning Conversations Into Clear Goals

Independence grows when goals are clearly defined and easy to revisit. During planning meetings, teams can document goals directly in Equip, capturing:

• What the individual is working toward

• The steps needed to get there

• Who is supporting each goal

This turns a meaningful conversation into an actionable plan participants can reference long after the meeting ends.

Building Structure Around New Goals

Once goals are set, structure helps bring them to life. Equip supports follow-through by connecting goals to everyday actions.

• Routines break goals into manageable steps

• Calendar events reinforce consistency and expectations

• Check-ins and notes support reflection and adjustment over time

This structure reduces reliance on verbal reminders and encourages self-initiation.

Supporting Confidence Into the New Year

When individuals leave a goal-setting meeting with clear expectations and visible next steps, they’re better prepared to move forward with confidence. Equip helps ensure goals don’t stay on paper—they become part of daily life.

✨ Preparing for what’s next isn’t just planning ahead—it’s empowering individuals to take ownership of their progress.

Effective tools and insights to simplify your role and maximize impact.

Clear Roles Reduce Daily Friction

Support works best when everyone knows their role. When it’s unclear who supports whom—or what access each team member should have—small questions turn into daily disruptions.

Equip simplifies this by making roles, relationships, and access easy to see and manage.

Seeing the Right Connections

With Equip’s updated profile views, teams can quickly understand support relationships without digging.

• Participant profiles clearly show assigned Supporters

• Team member profiles display their Supported Participants

This clarity reduces duplicate work, missed handoffs, and internal follow-ups—especially for larger or growing teams.

The Right Access for the Right Role

Equip recently rolled out Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC) to give organizations more control over who can see and do what in the platform.

RBAC allows admins to:

• Assign permissions based on role

• Protect sensitive information

• Ensure staff only access what they need to do their job

When supporter assignments are clear and access is intentional, teams spend less time navigating the system—and more time focused on meaningful support.

RBAC, combined with visible supporter relationships, helps organizations reduce internal questions, improve accountability, and maintain privacy and clarity as teams evolve

✨ Clear roles don’t just simplify systems—they strengthen support.
