Summary View help for Summary
The Gateway Community Services Organization (GCSO) FRAMEWorks program utilizes an enhanced ACF-funded curriculum targeting healthy marriage and relationships and economic stability (through financial literacy, job/career advancement, and employment) for individuals in rural Appalachian Kentucky. The FRAMEWorks project offers 15 or more hours of integrated services, including healthy marriage/relationship activities focusing on education and skills to improve relationships, communication, conflict resolution, and problem-solving as well as financial literacy and access to individualized coaching. Optional job/career advancement activities include job readiness workshops and linkages with job training and educational assistance, job search and placement, and job-driven employment.
Adults (aged 18 or older) enrolled in the GCSO FRAMEWorks program agreed to participate in a descriptive program evaluation for which data were collected at program intake (baseline) and 6-months after their participation in the GCSO FRAMEWorks program (follow-up). All individuals who enrolled in the evaluation provided informed consent. Responses from baseline and follow-up were compiled and compared to assess change in relationship skills, economic stability, and mental health distress over time.
