Not every organization has a dedicated evaluator or the budget for complicated data systems. That does not mean evaluation has to be out of reach. This learning session will walk through practical, low-cost ways to collect and use data to support program improvement and day-to-day decision-making.

Participants will learn about simple tools and strategies that can help teams better understand what is working, identify areas for improvement, and build stronger continuous quality improvement (CQI) practices over time. The session will focus on approaches that are realistic for community-based and behavioral health programs with limited staff capacity and resources.

This session is intended for program managers, clinical supervisors, coordinators, frontline staff, and others involved in gathering or using program data.

By the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:

• Identify free or low-cost tools that support evaluation and CQI efforts
• Choose tools that fit their organization’s goals, capacity, and needs
• Use data-informed approaches to guide small program improvements
• Access templates and resources to continue building evaluation efforts after the session
