Measuring Impact
Our mixed method approach currently includes a variety of measurement tools:

DEMOGRAPHIC DATA
PRE, POST, AND FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONNAIRES
INTERVIEWS
CASE STUDIES
TESTIMONIALS
INFORMAL "BARBERSHOP" DATA
We are passionate about measuring the effectiveness of our work. Over the years, we've collected both quantitative and qualitative data which assess the impact of our programs on participants' lives, healing journeys, and work with survivors in their communities.
As a result of attending our programs, participants report that they have:
-
Overcome addiction and depression
-
Started mental health organizations
-
Entered graduate programs in counseling
-
Trained parents and students to cope with traumatic stress in health ways
-
Supported perpetrators of harm to end cycles of abuse
-
Counseled peers and family members experiencing trauma
-
Improved relationships with their children and other family members
-
Released shame around their own trauma
-
... and more
Our post-workshop and follow up data demonstrate both the depth and the ripple effect of our work, proving that when we unlock the power of survivors to heal themselves and others, profound transformation is possible.
We are enthusiastic about sharing our lessons learned from testing both standardized and customized measurement tools, in order to advocate for more ethical, justice-based, community-centered impact assessment.
