BACK ON MY FEET MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS

Back on My Feet is very concerned with tracking the efficacy of our program and has an exciting partnership with Temple and Griffith Universities to validate the results of participation in Back on My Feet. Each month, our teams have a team meeting during which time, important upcoming events and items are discussed as well as serving to administer our monthly assessment forms.

These evaluation forms enable Back on My Feet to track attitudinal changes in our members and allows us to see tangible data to determine the success of our program. Having this information is crucial to our ability to alter our program to best serve the needs of our members and create the most positive environment possible for constructive change in our members’ lives. Below is some of the statistics we are excited to share with you.
