Systemic Learning Evaluation for
Legacy Tools
- If they were doing what they did purposefully,
what would they have been assuming?
/ what program model would they have been using?
—> Tools so others “stand on their shoulders”
3 Core Requirements
-Based in Student Experience
-Dual continua model of mental wellness
-Mentally Healthy Campus
6. 6
ACMHI Legacy Tools
-Emergent Program Model / Strategy
-Student Academic Journey Map, Wellness Journey Map
-Mentally Healthy Campus Developmental Maturity Model
-Evaluation & Learning Framework
7. What is a Mentally Healthy Campus?
7
Key Implication - MHC = place of learning, workplace, community asset.
Students, Student Associations as both beneficiaries AND contributors
8. The Challenge
‣ Tackling complex systems challenges like integrated
mental wellness and mental disorders requires a
host of factors (and organizations) to work together.
‣ However, this holistic view can be paralyzing: Which
factors? How do we know how we’re doing, who
should do it, and what should we do next?
‣ A maturity model can help focus efforts in complex
systems challenges.
‣ A developmental maturity model visualizes the need
for both growth and development.

10. Maturity Model - What it is
10
• Capabilities to Create the Desired Change with increasing Discipli
• 3 Developmental Stages - 5 levels of maturity within each
12. Multi-organization & Multi-professional
Collaborations
‣ Shared understanding of key dimensions
‣ Vehicle for shared conversations
‣ Overlay individual profiles —> Collective map
‣ Sharing the collective map helps to make
informed decisions about your particular
contribution to progress towards a shared
aspiration - see gaps and overlaps

PSE is also a stage in life journey
Impact not just during PSE experience, Benefit not just to individual
Not just student body at large but the student leaders who’ve been immersed in trying to influence mental health – skills and abilities in engaging students, writing proposals and managing projects, -- but many have gained an unexpected passion for improving mental health
About your strategies – what are you doing (ELF gives you how well you’re doing, Student Journey can give you some differentiation)
Diversity – Universal to Unique – designed for specific groups, targeted at specific area of the Student Journey Map
Won’t go into details of the right side dimensions today – suffice to say that each of them also has defined dimensions and levels
This allows graphic representation of state and process, by integrating findings from ELF, and continuing to ground activities in the Student Journey --- can have a dashboard that quickly tells the story of where we are, and where we might consider moving next, given the realities of our situation and windows of opportunity that may be open. From these, strategies can be purposefully developed .
