Evidence Connect Works
For more information on this rating by California Evidence Based Clearinghouse for Child Welfare, please click here.
With each group that runs parents are asked to fill out evaluation measures before, during, and after Connect so we can see whether the program is effective.
Parents who complete Connect report that they feel more competent and effective in parenting and we see improvements in their mood and decreases in their levels of strain following Connect.
Parents also report improvements in their children’s functioning. We see significant decreases in internalizing problems (e.g., anxiety) and externalizing problems (e.g., conduct disorder). Parents tell us that, although the changes take time, they are well worth the effort!
