This two-session learning series introduces participants to the role of data in strengthening their mental health programs. Participants will explore how data supports high-quality service delivery, helps with understanding participant experiences, and provides meaningful evidence for funders and the broader community about the impact of their work.

The series is interactive, encouraging participants to reflect on and discuss their own programs as they explore key data-related topics. Sessions will cover why data matters, how to make the most of the data you are already collecting, and practical strategies for sharing data to tell a compelling story about your program’s impact. Participants are invited to bring questions, challenges, and ideas from their own work.

Across both sessions, participants will learn about qualitative and quantitative data collection methods and explore effective approaches to analyzing and disseminating information that are useful, accessible, and engaging.
