This is an abridged half-day version of our standard full-day course. While a full day is required to cover the subject, this half-day course is a great introduction.

Holding the space

This half-day course is designed to develop skills to lead and facilitate group activities and discussions in a variety of community, professional and health settings.

We explore how to lay the foundations for effective group processes and what it takes to create safe spaces and keep participants engaged. We will develop the skills required to “hold the space” for groups and encourage healthy sharing and respectful exchange, while managing personalities and challenges.

Covering both the practical and interpersonal skills involved, we provide participants with a suite of adaptable tools for working with different types of groups and guiding processes which educate, enrich and support participants.

Topics include:

Facilitation role
Ground rules and boundaries
Group safety and communication
Leading group discussion
Tools for tricky situations
Trouble shooting
