JCMH Data & Strategic Initiatives Manager Christine Busse recently guest lectured at the University of Texas at Austin School of Social Work for the Dynamics of Organizations and Communities course.

Her lecture focused on the elements of program evaluation, including how to assess the success of an intervention, identify meaningful measures of impact, and determine whether an initiative has resulted in sustained change over time.

Thank you to UT School of Social Work for the opportunity to share insights on evaluating outcomes and measuring the impact of justice-system initiatives!

The conversation will explore ruck hikes as an opportunity to support veterans’ mental health, reduce stigma, build community, and encourage connection through the outdoors.
