Community Research &
Assessments
With over 15 years of clinical and community consulting experience, Behavioral Management Group, LLC continues to be committed to improving the state of communities. Culturally-responsive community evaluations are used to identify and resolve an issue or problem with the goal of improving the quality of life as a whole community.
A culturally-responsive approach to community evaluations and research maintains a core emphasis on the cultural context. It enlists the participation of community members who have been directly affected by the presenting concern as well as those who will directly benefit from implemented improvements.
