Facilitator Training for Family Support Groups

Facilitator training prepares individuals (typically parents who have a teen or adult child in active addiction or recovery) to lead and guide parent support groups effectively. It provides the necessary skills to create a safe, inclusive environment where parents can share their experiences, gain insights, and find support.

The training typically includes instruction on group dynamics, active listening, conflict resolution, setting boundaries, and maintaining confidentiality. Participants learn how to foster open communication, manage group discussions, and address sensitive topics like addiction, mental health, or parenting challenges with empathy and professionalism. The goal is to empower facilitators to support and guide parents while promoting healing and growth and recovery.
