Behind The Seen Evaluation Published
We are exceptionally proud to announce that the research evaluation of the Behind The Seen program is finalized and published! We can finally state, backed up by research evidence, that lived experience is a crucial component of the program AND that the Behind The Seen program has positive outcomes!
The article “Trauma and Mental Health Awareness in Emergency Service Workers: A Qualitative Evaluation of the Behind the Seen Education Workshops” has been published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health!The whole way through it’s just been Ross and I stubbornly persisting with a concept we believed to be effective- we’re a little overwhelmed to think we DID IT! So if you have a lived experience of mental health challenges and you ever have a seed of an idea, don’t be afraid to give it a go!!
