6.11: Key Takeaways

Key Takeaways: Lesson 6

As you prepare to implement Powerhouse®, remember:

  • The overarching goal of Powerhouse® programming is to support increased resilience among young caregivers. 
  • Each Powerhouse® program has identified outcomes and evaluation tools, which are outlined in the corresponding Facilitation Guide. 
  • Both quantitative and qualitative information help build a fuller understanding of program reach, young caregiver experiences and outcomes. 
  • Meaningful learning comes from multiple perspectives, including young caregivers, facilitators and participating organizations. 
  • Evaluation and learning happen throughout the full Powerhouse® cycle — from training and preparation through delivery, evaluation, reflection, improvement and future programming. 
  • Reporting back to YCA helps turn information and feedback into learning, support and continued improvement. 
  • Each Powerhouse® delivery is an opportunity to build on what was learned and strengthen future delivery.
