1 Part 4: Evaluation Evaluation Of the Program A Child Maltreatment Community-Based Counseling Program's ability to meet the needs outlined in the program's objectives and intervention results is assessed together with the program's effectiveness in providing services. Bearing this in mind, the specific evaluation strategies will involve establishing definite program goals and objectives (Nishimi et al., 2020). This approach will help examine the program's stated goals and objectives first. Secondly, selecting useful evaluation criteria will assist with the selection of important parameters, which will gauge the effectiveness of the program. By doing so, the evaluation criteria may consider facts such as reduced cases of child abuse, improved children's well-being, and expansion of service availability. Lastly, obtain baseline data since it helps understand the existing situation of child abuse before implementing the program. The Process for Assessment and How Data Will Be Analyzed In determining whether the program is effective, the collected data will be analyzed accordingly. Concerning this, the data will be examined by focusing on how it affects the children and families following the implementation of a community-based counseling program. The first step in data analysis will be describing the aims and goals of the program. This step will involve outlining the program’s aims and purposes as well as the intended results to be obtained. The second phase will be choosing the right evaluation techniques. This decision will help in settling on the right instruments and evaluation techniques, such as surveys, interviews, focus groups, observation, and program record reviews.
2 How To Use the Data to Increase the Effectiveness of Clinical Mental Health Counseling Interventions and Programs For the program to increase its effectiveness in addressing clinal mental health counseling intervention for maltreated children, specific data needs to be utilized. First, it is imperative to determine high-risk cases, which entails examining program data to identify trends and risk factors that result in child abuse (Roygardner et al., 2020). Such information will help prioritize certain instances as requiring urgent care. Having a tailored assessment is also vital since the examination instruments, as well as questionnaires, will focus on specific concerns that are widely spread in society. Evidence-based practices can also be utilized in data collection to increase effectiveness since they help identify counseling interventions that give the best result. As a result, the counseling program will be designed to incorporate the best evidence-based techniques.
