Interviews/Conversations with participants ; Surveying (paper or online)
We presented 4 virtual and 6 in person Caring for the Caregiver movement/story workshops for professional and home caregivers throughout the metropolitan area with project partners such as Eastside Neighborhood Services, Gilda?s Club Twin Cities, Family Means, Pathways, U of M Medical School, and the Wilder Foundation. ?All the staff and facilitators are still commenting on how great it was--and how much we really do store our grief, stories, and memories in our body. We are so glad you helped us realize that and express some of it.? ?Gilda?s participant. SPDT?s extensive Evaluation Process included written and on-line evaluations for participants, responses via social media, exit interviews with partner liaisons, and feedback from SPDT?s teaching artists. ?Thank you all for a wonderful program last night! It was so simple and yet so profound and moving. I love this way of working with caregiving in a beyond-verbal way. Everyone felt really engaged...? ?Pathways participant.
