Are you looking to effectively evaluate your programs, assess how well they were implemented, and how effectively they met their purpose?  Join us for this two-part interactive series exploring program evaluation and its application in your setting. Whether you are new to program evaluation or you are looking to improve your existing practices, this series is for you!  We encourage you to bring a small group of key players from your organization; consider including those who are instrumental in preparing, implementing, and sustaining practices.  This series is designed to build from session 1 through session 2, so please plan to have at least one person from your organization in attendance throughout.

Session 1 will take place on 9/11/25 @ 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM ET (w/ optional support from 2:00-2:30) and include a topical overview, followed by group collaboration and exploration of program evaluation resources.  Attendees will be invited to apply these resources to their program or broader systems of care context.

Session 2 will take place on 9/25/25 @ 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM ET (w/ optional support from 2:00-2:30) and dive deeper into the application of community engagement and needs assessment resources from Session 1 in your specific setting and solicit feedback from the Northeast Atlantic and Caribbean Hub of CMHIS and from fellow participants.  Attendees will develop a vision for their future program evaluation and will identify the next steps to move closer to that goal.
