How we listen

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Seeking feedback from people served makes programs more responsive and effective. Here’s how this organization is listening.

done We demonstrated a willingness to learn more by reviewing resources about feedback practice.
done We shared information about our current feedback practices.

  • Who are the people you serve with your mission?

    We believe in human potential and not defining people by a diagnosis. At CooperRiis, we’re committed to a personal approach to care and offer residential mental health treatment programs for adults diagnosed with anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, personality disorders, PTSD, and bipolar disorder. In addition to providing treatment for specific mental health conditions, our College Program is designed for residents who want to take college classes while in treatment. Our recovery approach combines a balance of trusted clinical therapies, purposeful work, community service, education, and holistic health and wellness practice. We empower residents to take ownership of their recovery journey and encourage their families to be active participants.

  • How is your organization using feedback from the people you serve?

    We don't actively use collected feedback

  • What significant change resulted from feedback?

    Our residents were really missing their weekly coffee shop outing, due to Covid restrictions, so they advocated for the supplies to have a resident-run coffee bar on campus on the weekends. It's become extravagant, with tons of flavor options for both cold and hot drinks. We approved it, but the community organized it and orchestrates it each week. It's been wonderful to watch them enjoy the fruits (or espresso 😉) of their labor.

  • Which of the following feedback practices does your organization routinely carry out?

    We collect feedback from the people we serve at least annually, We aim to collect feedback from as many people we serve as possible, We take steps to ensure people feel comfortable being honest with us, We look for patterns in feedback based on people’s interactions with us (e.g., site, frequency of service, etc.), We engage the people who provide feedback in looking for ways we can improve in response, We act on the feedback we receive

  • What challenges does the organization face when collecting feedback?

    It is difficult to get the people we serve to respond to requests for feedback, The people we serve tell us they find data collection burdensome, Staff find it hard to prioritize feedback collection and review due to lack of time

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
  • We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
  • We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
