OPTIONAL: Research Opportunity

Emily Helder, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology at Hope College, is working in partnership with CASE to evaluate the impact of W.I.S.E. Up! for youth and families. Workshop participants have the option to join her study. Participation would involve children and their parents completing a brief online questionnaire before and after the workshop, receiving a monthly email with a W.I.S.E. Up! discussion prompt that can be used at home during the 6 months after the workshop, and repeating the initial questionnaire at the end of those 6 months. The results from families participating in this project across multiple sites will be combined to better understand the impact of W.I.S.E. Up! and further support adopted and fostered youth and their families with effective programming. For further details and to ask questions, contact Dr. Helder (helder@hope.edu).
