EVIDENCE

We place huge value on the input of all those involved in the Tipu Skills for Life program. We strive to capture this knowledge and feedback to continuously strengthen the program. We are grateful to the work of Clinical Psychologist Dr. Tess Chalmers in helping us develop our evaluation processes.
