Advocacy work is powerful, meaningful, and often emotionally and mentally draining. Whether you’re helping someone navigate a legal crisis, access healthcare, or secure housing, the stakes are high. Furthermore, behind every case file is an advocate doing their best to show up, stay organized, and keep their own well-being in check.
At Izzy, we’ve built tools specifically for advocates because we know that burnout doesn’t help anyone—not the client, not the team, and definitely not you. Our Helpline and Case Management platforms are designed to do more than just “manage” your caseload; they’re here to protect your time, energy, and peace of mind.
Here’s how Izzy helps reduce stress and support sustainable, people-first advocacy.
1. Scheduling That Respects Your Energy
Izzy’s scheduling tools aren’t just about getting appointments on the calendar—they’re about protecting your time.
Izzy allows you to set clear working hours and create custom Time Slots that reflect when you're available for specific types of appointments, such as new client intakes or team check-ins. Izzy makes it easy for advocates to manage their day while giving other staff, with the right permissions, the ability to book into those designated windows. It’s a simple way to stay organized and ensure your schedule works for you.
By allowing you to build thoughtful breaks into your day, Izzy helps you bring your best self to every conversation.
2. Automation That Frees Up Headspace
Izzy takes care of the repetitive stuff so you don’t have to:
Appointment reminders: Izzy sends automated, friendly reminders to clients about upcoming meetings, helping reduce no-shows or last-minute scrambles. Plus, when you hand off documents for clients to complete, Izzy reminds you of any outstanding documents and let you know when they’re ready for review! It’s an automated way to keep appointments and paperwork on track.
Smart tagging and case notes: Keep track of what matters most with smart tags that categorize cases, clients, and themes—so nothing gets lost in the shuffle.
These features are all about reclaiming time and reducing cognitive overload. Less administrative work, while having more impact.
3. Communication That Centers Clarity and Care
When people are in crisis, clear and compassionate communication can make all the difference. Izzy helps you stay connected without burning out.
All-in-one messaging hub: No more switching between platforms. Izzy Helpline keeps your communication centralized, secure, and easy to follow.
Tone-aware messaging: Every organization communicates differently, which is why Izzy gives you full control over your chat and text message templates. You can customize every message to reflect your tone, values, and audience. We offer a collection of trauma-informed, human-centered examples to help you get started, but the language is always yours!
Well-Being Isn’t a Luxury—It’s a Requirement
Sustainable advocacy starts with protecting the people doing the work. Izzy isn’t just a tool for organizing caseloads—it’s a partner in creating workflows that support your whole self, not just your to-do list.
We’re here to make the day-to-day easier, so you can stay present for what matters most: the people you're fighting for.
