Program Evaluation
The Good Things Mail Club may invite members to participate

well-being, social connection, life satisfaction, or other topics related to

Participation in these surveys is entirely voluntary.

Survey responses may be analyzed individually or in
combination with other responses to better understand the impact of the
program. When results are shared publicly, they will be presented in aggregate
or de-identified form so that individual members cannot reasonably be
identified, unless a member has provided separate written permission.

does not provide medical, psychological, or mental health diagnosis or

quality improvement, and educational purposes.
