Participants in the S4L workshops will experience enhanced well-being, and improved communication/conflict-resolution/teamwork and leadership skills. HOPE and Wilder Research will partner to develop/administer a post-survey after each workshop session to gather participants' perceptions regarding improvement in their well-being/the intended skills. 2: Building on a joint 2016 pilot project, HOPE will learn how to be more effective partner with/host for Stevie Ray Improv Company Skills for Life workshops. HOPE/Wilder Research will conduct 30-minute interviews with each of the artists to learn about strengths/improvement areas in enhanced authentic relationship between HOPE and Stevie Ray's Improv Company.
Skills for Life participants experienced enhanced well-being and improved communication/conflict-resolution/teamwork and leadership skills. Evaluation was done through the use of surveys, stories, and filming of the showcase. Surveys were sent to an independent evaluator. 2: HOPE clients had a reprieve from the stress of domestic violence shelter living, 'I haven't laughed that much in a long time? and improved confidence. HOPE's project coordinator met with Stevie weekly to determine how best to proceed, i.e., discuss the topic, review audience feedback, and determine best games. Similarly, showcase content was discussed as well as enhanced to provide more comedy.
