NEST is a valid and reliable web-based developmental screening tool that assesses how a child is developing and identifies practical ways to minimize risk factors and build resilience for children faced with adversity.
Artemis Associates are trained to conduct in depth program evaluations, conduct research, and analyze quantitative and qualitative data. We routinely help organizations use data to assess their program’s effectiveness, evaluate their level of trauma informed care, and analyze assessment results to help tailor and improve service delivery. We use only psychometrically valid instruments to gather quantitative data and conduct focus groups to gather and systemically analyze qualitative data to get an in-depth nuanced understanding of organizational dynamics. Specialties include cultural assessments to explore issues and dynamics related to equity; values, attitudes and practice of trauma informed care; and assessment of two generational work to address the needs of parents and children
