In a world saturated with digital distractions and social pressures, navigating the journey of parenting can feel like an uphill battle. For Axis, this challenge is not merely acknowledged but met head-on with a mission to empower parents and caring adults to engage in meaningful conversations with the teens and preteens in their lives.
Intentional Conversations
At the heart of Axis’s approach lies a commitment to building lifelong faith through intentional dialogue. Recognizing the critical role of parents as primary influencers in their children’s lives, Axis provides a wealth of resources—from weekly Culture Translator emails to Video Conversation Kits—that equip parents and caring adults to tackle tough topics with confidence.
Turning Mission into Metrics
Central to Axis’s ability to quantify their impact is the partnership with Elevate, a strategic advisory firm specializing in impact measurement. Elevate played a pivotal role in crafting the framework for measuring impact, developing the survey tool, and guiding the process of gathering and interpreting data.
Measuring Impact
Through Elevate, Axis was able to design a robust impact measurement framework that goes beyond mere resource utilization to capture the tangible outcomes of parent-child conversations. Elevate guided the creation and implementation of the survey tool, ensuring data collection across a diverse range of Axis users.
Actionable Results
After Elevate’s comprehensive analysis and interpretation of the data, Axis gained invaluable insights into the effectiveness of their resources in facilitating meaningful conversations and driving positive behavioral change. Elevate delivered the findings in a visually compelling way, allowing Axis to effectively communicate the impact of their work to stakeholders, make data-backed strategic decisions, and celebrate key wins with their team.
2024 Impact Results
We started with a question we wanted needed answer, are parents having Axis inspired conversations with their youth and if so what are the results. In our work together we found Axis users are not only engaging with the resources but actively using them to spark conversations with their children. 88% of all adults engaged with an Axis resource in the past 2 months. 1 in 2 adults were having conversations with their teens and tweens after utilizing Axis resources. The impact study revealed nearly 3 out of 5 adults observed positive behavioral changes in teens and tweens following conversations initiated by Axis resources. From a decrease in self-harm incidents to a reduction in substance use and improved mental health outcomes, the data underscores the transformative potential of intentional dialogue facilitated by Axis.
