it builds capability in evaluation and supports the development of evidence-based practice which ultimately supports families and children in our communities.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Project Worker, Community Service Organisation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u2018Again thank you so much for your time and generous sharing of knowledge. It was so very reassuring to talk with an expert about our situation and hear that some of my thoughts and plans are appropriate options to take this work forward. Those resources you have passed on look great and I look forward to considering them carefully as I place this puzzle together.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Program Manager, place-based strategy, Community Service Organisation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Our program has been working closely with the Centre since early 2019 to complete an evaluation. Mandy and her team have been patient, supportive and directive when needed in helping us produce our program logic, evaluation plan and table. Mandy has helped us clarify our outcomes and logic clearly and concisely which has meant that we as a program have a clearer idea of our program model and our objectives. Without Mandy\u2019s assistance we would not be at the point we are as a program and has inspired us to present our work at the World Infant Mental Health World Congress in 2021. The skills and knowledge we have gained from working with the Centre&nbsp; have now inspired our Department (Family Youth and Children) to evaluate and ensure our programs are informed by evidence-based thinking with program logic and ongoing evaluation processes in place. With these measures in place, this will ensure we assess the outcomes we want to achieve while remaining in a continuous improvement and collaborative framework.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>We cannot thank Mandy and the team at the Centre enough for the work and knowledge they have provided us over the past year and a bit. We value the collaborative work, time and effort Mandy has put in to our program evaluation and our service\/program vision has improved significantly since we have been working with the
