Technical Assistance
Technical assistance (TA) is the process of providing targeted support to an organization with a development need or problem. We often deliver TA in many different ways, such as one-on-one consultation, small group facilitation, product creation, or through a digital platform.
TA is one of the most effective methods for building the capacity of an organization, and it can often be effective to partner with a firm such as VFR to source the most knowledgeable experts in the field on a given topic.
Whether you need additional education on a topic or intensive support in implementing new evidence-based practices, our technical assistance team can help you realize your goals
Do you need technical assistance?
Organizations at every stage of their life cycle can often benefit from training and technical assistance. While this need often decreases over time, most organizations find value in increasing capacity.
Business planning & strategy
Many partners aren’t aware that TA can be on a variety of topics. Some common examples include:
- In-person or digital training on new evidence-based practices
- Community needs assessment and resource mapping
- Cost of service delivery and payment models
- Leadership development
- Strategic communication materials creation
TA doesn't have to be a burden, work with a partner who understands your organization
VFR has been invaluable in helping Oregon execute a statewide strategic plan for addiction and recovery. Implementing a statewide strategy for tracking recovery prevalence will help us serve those that need us most.
Gaining the ability to evaluate the ARHE and S.A.F.E. Project leadership academy has been instrumental in growing the program. Our stakeholders have access to meaningful metrics and know exactly how our participants are progressing!
VFR helped us figure out the best way to launch our band within our local recovery community, and the response so far has been phenomenal. Thanks VFR!
