Proposal by Think Hopeful@i
THLNK HOPEFUL
I. _Introduction _ ■ I
Think Hopeful, Inc. ("Think Hopeful"or"We")is honored to provide this proposal to provide
our online platform and services for The County of Fresno Probation Department("Department"
or"You")for the officers and support staff.This pricing is customized based on the discussion
held with the Department's leadership and management on Feb 6th,June 14th,August 14th,
September 29th and November 17th, 2023.
II. What is Think Hopeful?
We are a mental wellness organization that combines the elements of human-centered approach
and technology to bring mental wellness to communities that don't reach out for support because
of cultural/professional stigma, accessibility issues and lack of social support. We serve the law
enforcement agencies focusing on probation and pretrial officers and support staff. Our programs
include:
In-Person: Wellness training, Workshops and small Support Groups that are tailored to
be interactive, engaging,practical,reflecting real-time needs, and based on the frame of
reference of the officers/staff.
Online Platform &Services: A 24/7 accessible, anonymous/confidential, safe,
proactive,and culturally responsive human-centered online platform with 1:1 support
(online), Workshops (online),Personalized self-care modules(online)and interactive
Social Support(online).
Our Premise and Value Proposition for our Online Platform & Services includes:
Mental Wellness as a Lifestyle—We believe mental wellness should be a lifestyle that
transcends our professional and personal lives. It should be practical along with tools that
officers and staff can easily incorporate in their daily lives.
24/7 Care—A meaningful support is beyond Monday-Friday and beyond 9-5. We offer support
every day—after hours,weekend, and during holidays.
Anonymous/Confidential—Our platform is anonymous, safe,and confidential.Any
officer/staff using the Wellness platform or services uses an alias. This drastically reduces the
"shame"and cuts down the stigma and pressure around seeking support.
Community/Peer Power—Think Hopeful brings together a community of law enforcement
personnel—anyone that the officers/staff interact on the platform will be a verified law
enforcement personnel. They can find interactive community features and support from fellow
officers/staff.Research shows that feelings of belonging, and community greatly reduces
isolative behavior,mood disorders,promotes self-esteem, and improves work morale!

THLNK HOPEFUL
Culturally Responsive—Our wellness material—whether they are videos, audio, articles, or
worksheets are personalized for each individual based on their wellness concerns, age,race,
ethnicity, gender and sexual preferences.
One Size Doesn't Fit All Approach—We understand that every individual is unique and may
view wellness differently. Through our multiple social support features, 1:1, small groups,
workshops,podcasts,newsletters and more—we are able to provide personalized care that is
supportive,nurturing, and confidential for every team member every time.
Real time Support—All aspects of our platform and our services are guided by real time needs.
Our Wellness groups and interactive features for example are based on the data of concerns
noted by officers/staff. Our team can provide online and in-person small groups and workshops—
all derived from the needs of your team.
Empowerment—Our approach provides autonomy and empowerment to officers/staff when it
comes to their wellness—from when and where they access it to the modality of wellness and the
pace at which they feel comfortable,to tracking their progress, staying accountable, and more!
Data—We capture anonymous-aggregated data which includes the needs of the officers/staff;
quantify the usage and engagement of features; determine the efficacy of the services; and
continue to keep our platform and services dynamic. (We do not share individual data with the
organization we work with, and we do not share or sell personal data to third parties).
III. Our Capability Statement for the Online Platform & Services
Probation departments are unique because of the unique stressors faced by officers and support
staff. We work with California County Probation and U.S. federal Probation and Pretrial
Services System("districts"),and we understand that wellness should be a lifestyle, and not a
one-time or one-off event. Wellness should be personalized to the individual and to the
organization, and that is what we bring from our research and experience to you.
✓ Think Hopeful works with multiple Probation and Pretrial departments,where we offer our
virtual platform to the officers and support staff which provides an online, anonymous and
24/7 access to wellness, including 1:1 wellness sessions,workshops, online community,and
various interactive features that are available during business hours, afterhours,weekends
and holidays.
✓ Think Hopeful routinely conducts online training workshops for various districts. These are
based on real-time needs for a large audience which is educational,interactive and fun, and
audience walks away with practical ways to manage issues in their professional and personal
life.
✓ Think Hopeful routinely conducts in-person Wellness workshops, such as the most recent in-
person workshop conducted for the Deputy Chiefs at CPOC. These in-person workshops are
based on real-time needs and customized for the attendees such as that conducted for the
