De-Stress and Thrive Facilitator Training

So many people feel so stressed and you can do something about it. Learn what triggers individual stress and how to activate the relaxation response.

Help others engage their senses and learn new strategies to relax. The De-stress and Thrive Facilitator Training is held over six 1.5-hour sessions via Zoom.

What does being a facilitator entail?

Group health programs provide the educational resources but require a facilitator to share the information and to encourage group participants during their journey through the program.

A facilitator of a group program launches the program and rallies the discussion. But the role of a facilitator goes further depending on if the facilitator has a team to support some of their roles or works in solo to host and conduct the program.

A facilitator is not necessarily a teacher or acts as the speaker of the hour. The roles of a facilitator includes at least in:

• initiating an event
• planning the meeting
• developing the agenda and time frame
• greeting participants and new members
• conducting as a host in presenting or pointing participants to the educational resource
• facilitating and managing the discussions
• carrying out active listening to contributions from participants
• keeps the groups focussed on the topic
• developing and asking questions to encourage thoughts and participations
• managing conflicting opinions and negative emotions constructively
• building rapport and relationship with the participants

Our facilitator process walks you through this entire process and will show you how to be a confident group leader.
