Introducing Atlas Sessions

Give your staff back 10+ hours per week.

The Reality

Documentation is broken.

Behavioral health, justice, and case management staff spend up to 40% of their time on case notes. For every 45 minutes of casework, another 30 to 90 minutes of paperwork. Quality of care suffers, and so does the team holding it together.

of documentation per 45 minutes of casework.
~65%
staffing gap created when documentation eats the day.

Notes lag the session by days.

Staff are writing them up 72 hours later, reconstructing what happened from memory. The result is documentation no one trusts and audit exposure quietly building under leadership.

Overtime is the silent budget killer.

Late notes mean late hours. Late hours mean comp time, attrition, and burnout. The note backlog shows up on the schedule and the payroll line, every month.

Coaching is disconnected from data.

Six months after MI training, every staff member is running a slightly different playbook. Supervisors have no real visibility, so fidelity drifts and nothing changes.

A day with Atlas Sessions

One participant, one record, one team in sync.

A walk-through of how Sessions runs alongside a real staff member preparing for, running, and following up on a single contact.

Morning

Atlas frames the day before you open your inbox.

Your dashboard surfaces who's on the schedule, whose plan has shifted overnight, and whose journal entries flag something worth following up. You walk in with the priorities already sorted.

"Who needs an extra nudge this week?" returns names, reasons, and a suggested order in seconds.

In session

The conversation stays the priority.

Atlas Sessions handles note taking for you, with consent. Stay present with your clients during the session without needing to capture key points yourself.

After

Next steps for them. Next steps for you. Queued before the next contact.

Atlas writes your case note. It also queues the participant's next journal, microlearning, or skill practice, ready in their app the moment the session ends. Both sides walk out with a plan.

If anything in the conversation suggests an update to the case plan, Atlas flags it for your sign-off.

Coaching, continuously

Training shouldn't end when the training ends.

Staff receive coaching feedback after every session, designed for skill-building, not evaluation. Each staff member's feedback is private to them, paired with accessible coaching tips grounded in motivational interviewing.

Supervisors see team-level patterns that help guide training, onboarding, and support. Where is the team strong? Where would a group refresher help? What's worth folding into next month's training plan?

Case Note DAP · Draft

Data

Met with Marcus R. for 45-min individual contact. Reviewed last week's “Self-Control” journal. Marcus identified avoidance of family and coworkers as a recurring pattern, and connected it to job loss in 2025. Mood appeared engaged; rapport was strong.

Assessment

Insight increasing on links between avoidance behaviors and goal interference. Continued progress on therapeutic alliance. Change talk strong, particularly around relationships with daughter.

Plan

Assign “Wellness & Recovery” journal. Schedule check-in with case plan goal “rebuild family relationships.” Continue weekly individual contacts.

Notes

Progress notes drafted from the actual session.

Atlas drafts case notes from the actual session: the conversation, the journal context, the participant's plan. You stay the human in the loop. Edit, sign off, sync to your case management system of record.

Today, Atlas Sessions drafts in a structured progress-note format optimized for behavior change programming. Custom note templates are on the roadmap as we extend Sessions further.

Connected to the rest of Atlas

Sessions plus the Atlas content library equals a closed loop.

Atlas Sessions doesn't operate in isolation. It reads from the work participants do between contacts and writes back the right next intervention from the broader Atlas content library. The session, the journal, and the next steps all reinforce each other.

Before the session: see what they've been working on.

Sessions reads each participant's recent journaling activity, completed assignments, and reflections, so the staff member walks in with real context, not assumptions.

  • Recent journal entries and reflections, summarized in plain language.
  • Skills practice they have or haven't completed since the last contact.
  • Engagement signals that flag what's worth following up on.

After the session: queue the right next intervention.

Sessions matches what happened in the conversation to the right next journal, audio reflection, or skills practice from the Atlas library, and assigns it automatically to the participant's app.

  • Risk-need-responsivity matched to each participant's profile.
  • Microlearnings tied to the skill the staff member is practicing.
  • Plan updates flagged for sign-off when the conversation suggests one.

Built for justice and treatment settings

Privacy, consent, and oversight, baked in.

Sessions are sensitive by definition. Atlas Sessions was designed from the ground up for the regulatory and ethical realities of justice and treatment work, not bolted on after the fact.

🔒

Consent first.

Recording is participant-aware and consent-based. Audio can be retained, summarized only, or discarded after note generation, by policy.

📊

Role-based access.

Staff, supervisors, and leadership see only what their role permits. Session detail stays with the staff member; patterns roll up.

🌐

Configurable retention.

Agency-controlled data retention, redaction policies, and audit trails. Your data, your boundaries, your record.

“What I love most is being fully present for my clients again. I'm not scrambling to remember every meaningful moment, because Atlas is doing it for me. The fidelity report has been a kind of mirror — it shows me what I'm doing well and gives me one clear thing to practice next.”
Curtis Quay, JD, SUDCC IV Program Manager Associate · Heartland House

Less paperwork. Better care.

Sessions is built for behavioral health and correctional teams that want their evenings back and their notes accurate. See it in 30 minutes.
