Level 1 Facilitator Training Program

Eligibility

This course is open to individuals who hold a certificate in Compassionate Integrity Training.  If you have not taken a CIT course, you can see our current offerings here.

How does this course work?

This course is divided into two sections – the Primer Group and the Practicum.

During the 12-week Primer Group, FITs will meet weekly for a 2-hour Zoom call with a Level 2 Mentor.  During these sessions, Facilitators-in-Training (FITs) will begin drafting their Curricular Engagements (CEs – see below for more information) and practice facilitating small portions of the CIT content.  Each session will be structured by the Level 2 Mentor to deliver information and provide feedback.

The Practicum is the second 12-week portion of the course.  The group will meet weekly for a 2-hour Zoom call with a Level 2 Mentor.  During these sessions, two or three FITs will facilitate one entire skill from the CIT curriculum for 90 minutes.  The other FITs and Level 2 Mentors will provide both written and verbal feedback to the facilitation team. Week 11 is an opportunity for FITs to ask questions, obtain marketing information, and learn more about community engagement opportunities.
