The framework captures emerging research and leading practices and reflects the cultural diversity of Alberta. It also incorporates Indigenous perspectives on well-being and resiliency. The framework offers an interconnected perspective by sharing insights about how well-being and resiliency are promoted from both western and Indigenous worldviews.

The miyo resource was developed recognizing that western-based evaluation practices are generally not effective when working with Indigenous communities. It includes a model for service delivery and outcome and performance measurement that accurately and culturally assesses the impact and value of culturally designed services provided by and for Indigenous client populations.

Description

The Evaluation Framework describes the desired results of the Well-being and Resiliency Framework and outlines ways to monitor progress towards and understand meaning of outcomes. It supports provincial implementation of the Well-being and Resiliency Framework by serving as a platform for ongoing monitoring, adaptation and continuous improvement. The Evaluation Framework will ensure the desired outcomes identified in the Well-being and Resiliency Framework are clearly articulated to be specific, measurable, reasonably achievable, relevant and timely. The Evaluation Framework includes indicators and measures for the defined continuum of services; processes to measure and report on outcomes and effectiveness of wellbeing and resilience programs provincially; and supports regular reporting on the achievement of the overarching outcome of helping children and youth be safe and reach their full potential.
