UPBEAT STORIES
UPBEAT ARTS QLD (School of Hard Knocks Ltd) EVALUATION REPORT
This report presents findings from a one year longitudinal and multiple method evaluation of 56 participants who joined the first two activities organised by Upbeat Arts (School of Hard Knocks LTD) Queensland: the choir and the creative writing group.
Demographic characteristics of the participants as they joined their program confirmed that they were typically marginalised from the general community due to not being in the paid workforce, not being in personal (couple) relationships, and the majority experiencing chronic mental health and physical health conditions.
