Evaluation tools in Dramatherapy WORKSHOP

Marissa Green

This event concerned evaluation and outcome measures from the beginning to the end of a therapeutic process. What information do we need to offer the ‘right’ intervention for our clients? How do we evaluate whether our intervention is ‘working’? How do we measure the ‘success’ of a dramatherapy intervention? How do we share the impact with our stakeholders? This CPD event will offer you the space to interactively introduce you to both qualitative and quantitative methods of evaluation and outcome measures. This is by no means a comprehensive session as there is a wide range of tools out there, but should offer participants an introduction and confidence.
