The Change Companies

90% of residents in an independent evaluation said Atlas increased their motivation to change. 90% said it increased their confidence they could.

Those numbers came from an independent evaluation conducted on Atlas with Charities across two residential reentry centers, combining validated surveys with nearly 600 pages of resident and staff interviews.

What the interviews revealed went beyond the survey scores:
→ Residents described using Atlas's Interactive Journaling® to think through practical steps — from getting a driver's license to preparing for a job interview.
→ Parenting surfaced repeatedly as a theme, even though it wasn't part of the original survey. One parent said journaling helped them find patience they didn't know they had.
→ Digital privacy mattered. Residents said they were more honest journaling on a device than on paper others could read.
→ Staff reported saving up to six hours a week on documentation and session planning.

Valerie Bagley, Chief Program Officer at The Change Companies, framed it well: technology alone doesn't change lives — people do. Atlas is built to support that human work, not replace it.
