Make a difference in your community
Living Life to the Full facilitators are community educators or organizational staff who are trained and certified to deliver the Living Life to the Full program.
Facilitators are a vital part of the Living Life to the Full program who bring the course to their local community and share essential life skills to give people the skills to cope with life’s stresses.
Our training will teach you how to effectively present the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)-based skills to your own group courses. Whether you plan to run Living Life to the Full as a course in your community, within your organization or as a class at your school, becoming a facilitator is a valuable way to lend your skills to help others.
Facilitator Workshop
The Living Life to the Full training is a 15 to 20-hour intensive program that prepares future facilitators to deliver this fun, evidence-based mental health promotion course. The course provides opportunities to practice and participate while teaching you key methods.
The training is articulated in a way that participants learn the course content over 12 self-paced online modules, and complete assignments to ensure they understand the content. The training also includes 3 real time video calls in groups of 5-15 people, led by the Master Trainer.
Included in the training, facilitators will receive:
- A Living Life to the Full Facilitator Training Kit, which includes course booklets, facilitation notes, and other materials
- Access to Living Life to the Full materials
- Ongoing program evaluation
- Certificate on completion of workshop
Upon completion of the 3-week training cohort, facilitators should be able to run the course on their own in their organization/community.
Living Life to the Full in the Workplace
The Facilitator training benefits both the employee and their organization as providing the course internally to staff can:
- Equip workers with the knowledge to improve their wellbeing, learn helpful strategies to deal with stress and worry, and feel connected to each other
- Improve employee retention as staff feel cared about and learn skills on how to feel empowered in their own lives
- Help improve staff morale, fostering a positive and supportive workplace
- Reduce stigma and help normalize conversations about mental health
