Program Evaluation

If your organization has implemented a program to address stigma, and you want to determine whether it’s been successful, or perhaps you want to find out if stigma really is an issue in your community or an organization before allocating funds to develop a new initiative.  Maybe you need to do a needs assessment in order to identify areas for improvement in the development of stigma-free organization or municipality. 

The Stigma-Free Center offers expertise to collaborate with and support community organizations, hospitals and medical centers, governmental departments, education systems, and other groups in program planning, program review and assessment, new program implementation and capacity building with a focus on best-practices and supporting community engagement toward the goal of eradicating mental health stigma. The Center will engage in rigorous, transparent, and cooperative evaluation of programs and services with a focus on establishing quantitative and/or qualitative data that reveal strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to improve programs and provide data that can be useful for grant submissions.
