Research
A detailed evaluation of Fortem’s social connection and career management programs by Gallipoli Medical Research has found both programs are achieving significant wellbeing gains for participants.
Co-funded by the NSW Government, the research project saw Gallipoli analyse client demographics, program themes and metrics, and overall program performance.
Gallipoli found the social connection program ‘is delivering strong social-connection benefits, trusted health gains, and exceptional participant advocacy’.
It found the Career Management program (CMP) ‘not only helps first responders land new employment or reintegrate with their agencies, but also demonstrably boosts wellbeing and earns exceptional client advocacy; confirming its strategic value as both a retention and transition tool across the sector.’
The results mean that the two programs are now considered evidence-based, with demonstrated proof of the positive outcomes they are having on first responders and their families.
While confirming the intended outcomes of both programs, the study also enables future program design to be based on proven outcomes rather than assumptions about what first responders and their families need.
It also allowing first responders, their families and agencies to make informed decisions about using Fortem’s services.
