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.
