A department within a community mental health center is in danger of being eliminated.\u00a0 The director of that department is\u00a0attempting to protect it by\u00a0explaining how important the Consultation and Education Department is to the success of the center as a whole.\u00a0 They point\u00a0out that the department\u2019s workshops, which are open to the general public, prevent mental health problems, and also encourage self-referrals for clinical help.\u00a0 Although these points are well taken,\u00a0the director\u00a0does\u00a0not have the data to back them up.\u00a0 As the center\u2019s executive director points out, \u201cWe don\u2019t really know anything about the impact you\u2019re having.\u201dWhat steps they might take in this kind of situation?\u00a0\u00a0How would a more effective evaluation program help?\u00a0What methods might be used to demonstrate the effectiveness of preventive programs like the one at stake in this case?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
