Facilitating Trauma Group Work

This 3-day intensive program is designed for clinicians, practitioners and mental health workers who run group sessions as part of their role.  As a group facilitator you have a duty of care to develop and maintain a safe space for participants – however, in a therapeutic setting this can be challenging. 

Participants can be triggered by others’ story; some may flood or overwhelm which can rupture in the group and the flow of the session.

This program will help build your knowledge, confidence and skills in facilitating trauma-informed groups and programs. Over the 3-days you will learn how to hold space, develop trust and cohesion, set firm boundaries and guidelines and respond to challenges of group work.

Through instructional and experiential sessions, you will learn how to:

Set boundaries and contracting

Understand the roles within the group
Develop Skills for Trauma informed facilitation
