Because safety isn’t just about policies; it’s about people. ??

Papa is a community powered by real people—our Papa Pals, members, and team. Creating safe, personal connections at scale is no easy task, but in a world where so many lack the essential social support they need, human care and companionship cannot be replaced. Understanding the unique vulnerabilities of both members and Papa Pals on our platform led us to craft a Trust & Safety program that doesn’t just meet today’s standards—it redefines them. So, how do we ensure that members feel secure, their families feel reassured, and Papa Pals feel protected and empowered to make a difference? Read more about our approach to trust and safety, following the release of our inaugural transparency report last week, in my article below.?

As Papa enters our seventh year in business, we’re reflecting on this journey that has spanned millions of in-person interactions. Our commitment to keeping those on our platform safe grows with each passing year, as does our knowledge on how to do so most effectively at scale. We’re proud to contribute those learnings and best practices today in our inaugural transparency report—the first to be released by a caregiving platform. Written by our external Trust & Safety advisors, the report provides an honest assessment of challenges facing in-person care and serves as a guide for others in our space. At a time when so many lack access to the social support they need, we have to work together to make human help accessible at scale and to do it as safely as possible.

This Veterans Day, we honor all who have served and celebrate the strength found in connections between Veterans. Like Papa member Arnold and Papa Pal Tom, two Veterans with disabilities who developed a quick bond over their shared military history. “We have something in common,” Arnold says of Tom. “He’s a Veteran himself, so it’s a Veterans-helping-Veterans thing. He’s just a good man. He really enjoys me just as much as I enjoy him.” We’re proud to see Veterans find connection and purpose beyond their years of service through Papa. Today, we thank all Veterans and their families—not only for their past sacrifices, but for the positive impact they make each day in their communities. ?? ?? https://lnkd.in/eDRmHP3J #VeteransDay #PapaPals #VeteranSupport

Welcome back to #UnpackedwithPapa! ?? In this episode, #Papa’s Kelsey McNamara is joined by Megan Delp, PsyD LMFT, licensed therapist and head of the NAMI StigmaFree Workplace initiative, to discuss how employers can prioritize mental health and build truly supportive workplaces. Together, they dive into the key pillars of a stigma-free workplace and share practical strategies to support employee well-being. Core to those strategies is putting awareness and education into action to create an environment in which employees feel seen, valued, and supported and have access to relevant resources. Encouraging open dialogue about mental health and life challenges, and providing resources to prevent burnout are critical first steps. For those resources to be truly effective though, Meg shares, they must align with the needs of the employee population. This insight resonates deeply with the work we do at #Papa. Understanding the unique challenges faced by your workforce (or members) is key to providing the right kind of support—accessible, personalized, and impactful. ??
