• Applied Research

  • Translate findings into easy-to-implement activities and engagement strategies.
• Pilot Testing and Feedback
  • Assist with pilot implementations by collecting feedback from Joygivers and care recipients.
  • Refine materials based on real-world feedback and engagement data.
• Creative Content Development
  • Design visually engaging worksheets, checklists, and digital resources.
  • Collaborate with the training and caregiver success teams to align content with broader educational goals.
