Impact & Outcomes Committee

Description and Committee Charge

The Impact and Outcomes Committee advises the Governing Board on current and future RCCMHC-funded services and supports using both qualitative and quantitative data.

Data and Outcomes Measurement
 

In 2020, our grant making increased ten-fold, This resulted in increased collaboration with schools, county, and local agencies as well as increased access for thousands more youth/families.  However, this also greatly increased the number of hours needed to manage those relationships,  service agreements, and outcomes data. It was no longer reasonable to generate narrative-heavy public reports. So, we developed new progress and outcomes surveys and asked questions about collective impact and improvement across all funding areas.  Read about 2020 impact and outcomes here. 

​

FUNDING AREAS: 1) School Linked Mental Health, 2) Innovative Serives & Committee Outreach, 3) Non-Billable Services Bank, and 4) RCCMHC Family and Community Engagement 

​

SURVEY QUESTIONS: Collaboration, Referrals, Outreach to traditionally marginalized populations and underserved families, Youth/family demographics, Data collection tools, Quantifiable performance indicators related to proposed goal(s), Percent improvement, Personal story of impact, Lessons learned, Challenges/obstacles, and Alignment with RCCMHC vision and goals. 

​

YOUTH/FAMILY IMPROVEMENT AREAS: School engagement, Family communication/cohesion, Peer relationship, Social connectedness/community support, Emotional symptoms, Behavior problems or self-hearm. Prosocial behavior & coping (youth), Resilience & coping (parent/caregiver), Resource connections, Understanding mental health or trauma, and Access to concrete supports or tangible tools to support mental health/wellbeing. 

​

In 2021, the Impact and Outcomes Committee is working with a contracted researcher to further simplify this process.
