Facilitator's Guide: Intervene With Confidence

FacilitatorU Releases Facilitator's Guide for Intervention!

According to our readers, and in our own experience, Group "Intervention" is one of the most challenging skills to develop as a facilitator. So, we are especially pleased to finally announce the release of our second of many planned Facilitator Guides, "Intervene With Confidence." Here are some reasons you'll want this guide:

  • Offers "Just in Time Training" to facilitators and group workers in the crucial skill area of Group Process Intervention, more succinctly and completely than any other document we've seen before.

  • No fluff! This guide is practical, easy to read, with models, tips, and strategies you can use right away.

  • Includes an audio portion that answers real world problems around Intervention.

  • Includes models that will help you decide when and when not to Intervene, how deep to Intervene, and how to Intervene gracefully.

  • Illustrated 33-page guide will help you to drill down deep and master the art of Intervention in any situation.

  • This information-packed guide is a must to include in your personal Facilitator's Toolkit

This guide helped me to see that I usually intervene too often. Thanks Steve for helping me think more seriously about the whys,whens, and ifs of intervention.
