    Program Evaluation for the Alongside Network Wellbeing Groups
    (2023) Dalsheim, Hannah; Gillespie, Aimee; Lohr, Dr. Jamie
    This capstone group designed and carried out a program evaluation for the Alongside Network. The specific work agreed upon was 1) a program evaluation of the Alongside Network’s Wellbeing Groups (AWBG); and 2) informational interviews with healthcare providers with interest and expertise in traumatic medical stress to identify areas in which Alongside Network could support systematic efforts to reduce traumatic stress for patients and families. Alongside Network’s Wellbeing Groups are facilitated virtual meetings designed to provide validation, networking and mental health support to family members and caregivers of children who have been hospitalized due to severe illness or injury. Alongside Network will use this information to help support program growth, access and collaboration with partners to support children and families who have experienced traumatic medical events.
