Development of an Educational Resource to Assist Not for Profit Organizations in the Administration of a Peer Support Evaluation Tool

To ensure Canadians with SCI continue to receive peer support services organizations require methods to track the impact of their programming. The proposed research project will provide Canadian SCI organizations with an optimized tool that will enable them to critically evaluate the impact of the peer support services that they provide. Having access to an optimized evaluation tool will allow organizations to demonstrate the effectiveness of their peer support services and thus advocate for continued funding to sustain the programming. As a whole, our research will contribute to a growing body of evidence that highlights the importance of peer support services for persons with SCI.
