Evaluation is critical for securing funding, improving your programming, and targeting limited resources to best meet your participants' needs. 

Trauma-informed evaluation honors the complex experiences of being human, while also acknowledging the historical marginalization and harm from research that many populations have experienced.

Wilder Research will provide tips and considerations for conducting an evaluation that values participant time, knowledge, and resilience. 

The information you leave with will empower your organization to improve and sustain its work. Attendees should have a basic understanding of how to conduct an evaluation.

What you’ll learn:

  • Strategies for incorporating respondent perspective and building respondent buy-in into an evaluation design.
  • Tips to make data collection a respectful experience for respondents who have experienced trauma.
  • Ways to recognize and address secondary trauma and implicit bias for program staff that participate in each step of the evaluation process.
  • What to consider when reporting results, including ways to enhance respondent benefit and buy-in.

Please note: This session will not require anyone to disclose any personal experiences with trauma. However, some of the topics covered may cause feelings of discomfort or be triggering. Please take care.

Cost: $100

About the workshop series

Evaluation is one way for your organization to reflect on your work, make changes to better achieve the outcomes you want, and communicate the impact of your work to funders and other stakeholders.

Wilder Research evaluation workshops help build or polish your evaluation skills and equip you with the tools and resources to do evaluation at your organization.

Who should attend?

These trainings are for nonprofit, foundation, and government staff and volunteers who are interested in building a foundational set of skills in program evaluation. Whether you already use some evaluation tools in your work or have no experience with evaluation, we’ll showcase practical approaches for incorporating evaluation into your work.
