Sharpen is a content creation and delivery platform with a closed social network. We help health providers and mission driven organizations increase outreach and compliance with their constituents. We specialize in mental health and provide end-users with education and interactive tools to increase resiliency and overall mental wellbeing.

Access to SharpenFAMILY is provided through a group of mobile apps targeted to serve different audience types and tailored to address the specific needs of the foster care community. SharpenFAMILY provides a host of life-saving educational tools to teach about strategies for navigating the foster care system, early childhood development and connections to resources in the community. The platform also connects families to a library of skills building content designed from 8 scientific protective factors for resiliency. Most importantly, SharpenFAMILY engages parents and foster children into a personal dialogue with other peers and specialists, guiding them to the rich resources of the United Way of the Piedmont.
