  • 1.  Grief Group Evaluations

    Posted 01-03-2023 02:27 PM
    Hello, happy new year all!

    I'm revising our grief group evaluation forms that folks complete at the end of a support group. Curious, is there an assessment tool or specific evaluation questions that you have found more or less helpful in evaluating your organization's grief groups & workshops?

    Thank you!

    Hi Bianca. We have found a few of the most important questions center on if the group was helpful or beneficial, did they leave realizing that their feelings are normal or validated, how was the facilitator, did they feel supported, and then of course was the room comfortable.... If it has an education component, we would love to know if the information/handouts were helpful, or did their understanding improve. I guess we wat to know primarily did we meet the objectives or even description of the group. Also checking in with themselves can be good. After this group I feel.....or less/more.....
