Program Evaluation And Focus Groups

1. We conduct robust evaluations on all of our programs and services to ensure knowledge transfer, future project sustainability, improvements in service delivery, and an acceleration and dissemination of education and early prevention.
2. Our focus helps to facilitate the recovery process of those with mental health challenges and represents a major community-based contribution to the health and social services system.
3. Using a mixed methods evaluation approach on our peer and recovery programs, evaluation results have shown on average, a very high level of client satisfaction based on the administration of the scientifically validated CSQ-8 tool.
4. Our evaluations also focus on participants setting a personal goal as part of their participation in our programs and the vast majority of participants have shown positive progress towards goal attainment.
5. The Changing Minds With Youth program established a Youth Advisory Committee made up of youth who are directly involved in the design and evaluation of the programs thereby increasing direct youth participation in creating solutions to the mental health challenges faced by youth within their communities.
