MAIN APPLICATION <br />Program Activity 2 <br />Support Groups: Staff and trained volunteers facilitate support groups and workshops for survivors. <br />Some are traditional discussion -based groups and others are activity- focused groups utilizing <br />alternative healing modalities. <br />Program Goal <br />Clients will report that they have more information about options and resources available to them. <br />Additionally, they will have gained emotional support as a result of their contact with the Center. <br />We expect that more than 90% of those who complete evaluations will: <br />(1) Report that participation in a support group helped them feel less alone in their experience <br />of sexual violence. <br />(2) Report that participation in a support group increased feelings of being supported in their <br />healing process. <br />Performance Measures <br />Using a quantitative standardized scale for measuring post- traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), <br />support group participants will be given a pre- and post -test for these symptoms. Participants are <br />also asked to provide qualitative feedback about the service(s) they utilized at the OCRCC, to <br />evaluate their service provider, and to comment on the accessibility of our programs. The Client <br />Services Director compiles data after each support group and at the end of the fiscal year . <br />Program Results <br />95% of support group <br />participants reported that our <br />groups helped them feel less <br />alone in their experience. <br />94% of support group <br />participants reported that our <br />groups made them feel more <br />supported in their healing <br />process. <br />Main Application 1/25/2016 12:55:42 PM Page 15 of 32 <br />
