First off, a huge welcome to our second cohort of Facilitators.  This is a new program, so we started small last year, dipping our toes in the water and working out the kinks.  The training of the Facilitators and the trainings they provided to their staff went remarkably well, so we’re pleased to move forward to expand the league.

My Pledge to Facilitators

Once you become a Facilitator, my goal is to support you in being the very best! That’s a good thing for both of us. It is in everyone’s best interest that you have all the support you need to bring participants along in building skills and confidence.

Once you complete the Facilitator Training, you’ll have my cell phone number. I want to be readily available for texts or calls with small wonderings or large questions. My only request is that you remember that I live in the Pacific time zone and that you’ll place calls during my business hours, which may start later than yours.

Looking forward ~

Recommended Material

The Crisis Resource Manual is your “go to” guide for critical decisions and actions on crisis day. Content which is crucial on crisis day is in the front, making for quick access and ease of use when crisis strikes. The back of the book contains material helpful in planning for crisis response.

We highly recommend that this be used with the Crisis Resource Manual. Each chapter covers a different content area, and some chapters have exercises designed to help participants become more aware of their own issues from past experiences.
