Would you like to have a sense of your staff’s knowledge of GLBTQ issues and their skills in working with GLBTQ youth and families? We can help you assess this and use the data to support you in reaching your goals.

Evaluation services can be provided either in conjunction with or independent of training and technical assistance services. We will work with you to determine what data would be most useful to you and will design and implement a tailored assessment. The assessment can be designed to take a “snapshot” of your staff’s capacity to provide culturally competent care to GLBTQ youth and families, or to measure progress over a longer period of time. For more information and a price quote, please contact us.
