Event Description:
This two-day training provides facilitators of Abuse Intervention Programs (AIPs) with the skills and strategies needed to lead engaging, accountable, and effective group sessions—regardless of the curriculum you use.
Grounded in social work group principles, this training explores best practices for structuring intervention groups, fostering accountability, and addressing resistance to change.
Through a mix of theory, interactive exercises, and real-world application, attendees will gain practical tools to facilitate meaningful transformation in intervention groups.
Group work is so much more than having individual sequential conversations with a room full of people. Whether you're new to facilitation or looking to refine your approach, this training will help you make group work, work!
You may register for both days of the conference or a single day. To register for a single day, please contact Lisa Thomas, lisa.c.thomas@advocatehealth.org
