Spectrum partners with www.tyze.com

Whether you call them personal support networks, circles of friends, family, or family of choice – the people around you are important in good times and bad!   Having a network around you can keep you healthier and, if you do get sick, help you stay safe in the hospital and get better faster.    One new way to facilitate the development, expansion and inclusion of a network of friends and family members is with a tyze site.     Some of the best agencies in B.C. (and in other countries) are experimenting with this variation on a social networking site, which has as it’s focus the support of one’s personal network.   Our agency recently made the leap and is now partnering with tyze:

With a Spectrum.Tyze personal support network you can

• … invite friends, family members, neighbours and caregivers to join your support network
• … schedule everything from medical appointments to birthday parties
• … plan tasks together and share progress
• … tell stories about how you met the person at the centre of your network, and share their triumphs and challenges.

We’ll keep you informed as things move forward.    We have an initial contract to support the development of about 20 spectrum/tyze sites for individuals and will be conducting our first training session at the beginning of October.
