Services

The service focuses on analyzing existing data to answer important questions by using the best statistical tests that meet the assumptions of the data. The tests used shall be ones that answer the questions that are important to you – the client. First, we will meet with you to identify those questions. Then, you will provide the data to us in Microsoft Excel or in another file format that can be imported into SPSS. We will then analyze the data for you, create tables, write explanatory text to accompany those tables, and meet with you virtually to explain the results. Contact us today for more details.

As you can see from the credentials of our team and our published research, several of us have top-notch training, education, and experience in providing end-of-life education. For example, Dr. Jordan, our founder, has taught university level Death and Dying courses to college students for 23 years. These students were of all academic majors. Dr. Jordan’s sister, Debbie Jordan-Jackson, a nurse, is the VP of Operations for VITAS. Whether you are interested in a guest speaker, guest lecturer, a professional development workshop, or continuing education in this area, we can help you. For more details, call or email us today.

Having enough money to operate and run your programs is a good thing. One source of money to run your programs is grants. We can look for, find, and evaluate (vet) grants for you. We can also write grants for you. We have a long and very successful history of writing grants for our clients. If we deem that the grant is a great fit for the client and he/she is willing to help us write the application, then often we will not charge the client for our grant writing expertise. Instead, we require that the client put us in the grant budget for 10% to 15% as program evaluators and/or technical consultants. That way, if the client gets the money from the grantor, then we get paid for our time and expertise. Truly a “win-win” situation. Call or email us today and put our experience and expertise to work for you.

Because we are health-oriented consultants, we have the greatest amount of experience in doing health needs assessments – a systematic process of identifying, analyzing, and prioritizing the health needs of a priority population. Needs are really just gaps between where people are currently and where they want to be in terms of their health and quality of life. Doing a needs assessment is the absolute best way to determine what your priority population wants and needs. Because society and people change, we recommend doing a health needs assessment every three years. For more details, call or email us today.

Without program evaluation, you cannot answer these questions: 1) Was the program based on published best practices? 2) Did our program reach all segments of our priority population? 3) Did our program reach the desired number of participants? 4) Was our program implemented as we planned? 5) What was the cost of our program per participant? 6) Was our program a good return on investment? 7) What did program participants think of our program? 8) What did the program staff or my superiors think of the program? 9) What did our organizational partners or the public think about the program? 10) Did the program meet its own measurable objectives? 11) To what degree did the program meet the funder’s criteria or answer important questions? 12) Did the program improve people’s health or quality of life? Not having answers to these questions is not good. The best program evaluation starts before you even plan the program. Expert program evaluators like us are also expert program designers. Call us early and let us help you with program evaluation.

Because society, organizations, and staff change, we have the best outcomes with one-year strategic plans. Generating a strategic plan involves your organization’s leaders working with us for 2-3 sessions to clearly identify and define your organization’s mission, desired outcomes, goals, SMART objectives, and strategies. The strategic plan should be shared with and easily understood by all stakeholders, including your board members, volunteers, employees, organizational partners, and funders/investors. The one-year strategic plan must also become a living and breathing document. Every board meeting, every staff meeting, every meeting of your Advisory Committee should involve reviewing the strategic plan to determine how your organization is doing. For more details, call or email us today.

This service involves providing virtual professional development opportunities on a variety of topics. You may be interested in having us design, implement, and evaluate an educational and training workshop just for your organization or for a specific group of learners. Because of the wide variety of experts that we have in the 1795 Group, we can provide excellent education and training and many different topics. We recommend that virtual training workshops be no longer than 90-minutes in length. Call or email us today and put our experience and expertise to work for you.
