Main Results:

  • The visiting staff member exhibited significant changes in perception scores after the visitation.
  • These changes indicated increased identification with the community welfare agency, its staff, and objectives.
  • The evaluation process itself seemed to enhance the effectiveness of the visitation experience.

Conclusions:

  • Direct experiential learning, such as agency visitation, can significantly alter staff perceptions and foster greater alignment.
  • The act of evaluation and reflection appears to amplify the benefits of such experiential learning.
  • Findings suggest that structured inter-agency experiences can improve understanding and collaboration in mental health and welfare sectors.
