Your Work Makes an Impact. How You Approach It Matters.

We help nonprofits and mission-driven organizations design, implement, and evaluate programs through culturally responsive evaluation methods and trauma-informed practices. Our consulting services provide the tools, training, and practical guidance needed to strengthen programs, measure meaningful outcomes, and create lasting impact in the communities they serve.

Understanding the principles of trauma-informed care is one thing. Knowing how to apply them effectively in research, program evaluation, and organizational practices is another.

RJAE Consulting helps nonprofits, researchers, and mission-driven organizations bridge that gap through trauma-informed evaluation and research consulting services. Whether you're developing a new program evaluation, improving existing research methods, or integrating trauma-informed practices into your organization, we provide practical, evidence-based guidance that strengthens your work while keeping the people and communities you serve at the center.

You invest time, resources, and energy into programs designed to make a difference. But how do you know whether your efforts are achieving the outcomes you intended?

For nonprofits and mission-driven organizations, measuring impact isn't always straightforward. Limited resources, increasing expectations, and complex community needs can make it difficult to see the bigger picture and understand the people and experiences behind the outcomes.

That's where the right strategy and perspective can make a difference.

At RJAE Consulting, we bring together strategic program development, culturally responsive evaluation methods, and trauma-informed research practices to help organizations move beyond assumptions and uncover meaningful insights. Through practical guidance and evidence-based strategies, we help you strengthen your programs, measure what matters, and make informed decisions that better support the communities you serve.

A New Perspective on Research and Evaluation.

Trauma can influence how individuals participate in research, share their experiences, and engage with program evaluation. Understanding these impacts is essential to developing trauma-informed evaluation and research practices that are ethical, culturally responsive, and centered on the people and communities involved.

Co-authored by Martha A. Brown and Aaron W. Kates, Trauma-Informed Evaluation and Research: A Practical Guide, published by Guilford Press, introduces a comprehensive framework for integrating trauma-informed principles into research and evaluation processes.

Through practical tools, evidence-informed strategies, and real-world guidance, the book helps researchers, evaluators, and nonprofit professionals apply trauma-informed approaches at every stage, from research design and data collection to analysis and final reporting. It offers a practical roadmap for conducting more thoughtful, ethical, and responsive evaluations while keeping the experiences and well-being of participants at the center of the process.
