How do we know if our programs, practices, and services are having the impact we hoped for? Effective program evaluation can offer insight into what is working well and what needs adjustment. The results of a comprehensive program evaluation can also be an invaluable tool in resource allocation, informing funding decisions by both internal and external interested parties.

This one-hour learning session is designed as introduction to program evaluation within mental health organizations or systems of care. Participants will receive strategies and practical tools for conducting a program evaluation in their setting and sharing the findings in meaningful ways.

This session will also highlight our upcoming Program Evaluation Learning Collaborative, an opportunity for mental health organizations and systems leaders to apply to receive intensive support around designing and implementing a program evaluation tailored to their setting.
