Program Facilitator Training

To provide our program in abundance, we need many LifeSpheres Program Facilitators! Program Facilitators are in training in locations around the world, learning how to provide the PeerCommunity CoCare Program. We have a fabulous team of FiTs (Facilitators-in-Training). This is great! And we need many, many more. We’ve got a long, long way to go to Turn the Tide of Trauma!

The LifeSpheres Program Facilitator Training is available to the staff of our partner organizations so they can ultimately own and implement the program themselves, independently if they wish to.

This mission needs many shoulders to the wheel!

When our program facilitators start the LifeSpheres Program Facilitator Training, here’s what they understand:

This program is being made available to communities who need and want what it has to offer, free of charge and free of restriction by copyright, educational level, race, religion or any other discriminatory factor. It is not the intention of anyone involved in the program to make money from the participants of the CoCare Program or from those who commit to implement and facilitate it. The PeerCommunity CoCare Program is a philanthropic, charitable initiative funded by organizations and individual donors and operates, in part, through the contribution of volunteers.

The program is initially conducted as a pilot in every community so as to tailor it to the community’s needs and establish its feasibility as an ongoing program for that community.

We ask that they recognize and understand that:

Facilitating the CoCare Program requires a significant degree of cultural sensitivity and flexibility, while at the same time remaining true to the fundamental principles and effective protocols of the program.

There are challenges involved in working with communities that have been impacted by intimate and societal conflict and violence and by natural disasters and that they need to attend to their own self-care so as to remain resilient in the face of this profound and much needed work.

And here is the commitment we ask of them:

We ask our Program Facilitators to commit not just to the curriculum but to the program’s mission as a transformative tool for trauma recovery. This commitment means showing up, contributing skills and knowledge, and embracing the responsibility to themselves, their colleagues, the communities they serve, and our collective future. We encourage thoughtful reflection on these commitments—if they align with one’s values, we welcome them wholeheartedly as a valued team member. If not, we respect their decision and recognize there are many other meaningful ways to make a difference.
