Joyfields Institute Completes Independent Evidence-Based Third-Party Review of Maryhurst’s "Rescript" Curriculum

For Immediate Release: October 29, 2026

ATLANTA, GA — Joyfields Institute has officially completed and delivered its comprehensive, independent third-party curriculum review for Maryhurst's "Rescript" program.

The review provides an in-depth, module-by-module evaluation assessing how effectively the curriculum aligns with proven, evidence-based practices. The rigorous assessment examines overall instructional design, content-to-objective alignment, the balance of facilitator-led instruction with experiential activities, timing appropriateness, and the integration of trauma-informed, culturally humble learning environments.

The complete evaluation report, featuring detailed research, analysis, and strategic recommendations, has been provided to the Maryhurst team with which to refine the curriculum and to support their ongoing commitment to excellence in human services. Joyfields Institute representatives remain available to consult on the findings and assist with implementation strategies moving forward.

"We are grateful to Joyfields Institute for the depth of expertise, thoughtful analysis, and national perspective they brought to the review of ReScript: System for Centering Organizational Healing. Joyfields was a natural partner for this work because we share the fundamental belief that evidence-based practices create meaningful impact when organizations can translate them into everyday operations, organizational behaviors, and sustainable systems. ReScript was built from real-world experience, and having an independent partner challenge our thinking, validate our approach, and identify opportunities for growth is invaluable. Their contributions strengthen our ability to bring a practical, relevant, and adaptable curriculum to organizations and communities beyond Maryhurst.” Lada Gasparac, VP Culture & Learning, Maryhurst
