Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Audiences will feel more comfortable speaking openly about mental health. Audiences will increase their capacity to respond to children with mental health disorders with compassion, understanding, and support. Each performance includes a post-performance discussion among the audience, actors, and creative team, and notes will be taken on verbal feedback. In addition to tracking audience numbers, audience members will complete a survey asking about change in their comfort level in talking about mental health, their understanding about common symptoms of the disorders show in the performance, and their ability in responding to a child with a mental health disorder with compassion and support.

Measurable Outcome(s)

As of September 2, over 5000 people have viewed the Chicken Little Video. 500 have viewed the Tortoise and the Hare, but we are only just beginning the process of promoting it.
