There were more visits to peer support/self-help groups last year, than there were visits to the offices of mental health professionals. Peer support groups have exploded in popularity, as the public and the healthcare community recognize that they provide an effective complement to formal care, and improve the chance that many participants will have better healthcare outcomes. Few peer support/self-help group leaders have more than minimal training in how to lead a group successfully. This is unfortunate, as leading a self-help group is often challenging. This pocket resource is designed to provide easy access to key information and strategies to help Peer Specialists and other lay group leaders develop and expand their group facilitation skills so they can lead healthy thriving peer support groups.

This book contains information and skill-building activities designed to train adolescents as peer facilitators. The first chapter describes peer facilitation and provides an overview of the book. The second chapter discusses principles, concepts, and ideas to help better understand how people learn, make decisions, change, and develop their own unique personalities. The third chapter describes the process of attentive listening. The fourth chapter discusses the skills and intuitive elements needed for the facilitator to increase the chances that the helping conditions will be present and that the relationship will be beneficial. The fifth chapter describes a facilitative feedback model. The value of feedback, feedback as praise, feedback as confrontation, direct and indirect feedback, and using feedback in a group are discussed. The sixth chapter examines responsible decision-making. A five-step model is presented which can serve as a guide in decision-making. The seventh chapter addresses the evaluation process. Assessment of self and others is discussed as information needed to evaluate progress, make adjustments when necessary, give direction, and eventually help group members understand more about their work. The eighth chapter focuses on practical aspects of being a peer facilitator. Three peer facilitator roles are described, and possible work settings are described. The ninth chapter provides information for handling problem moments as a peer facilitator. (LLL)

Are you looking to up your game as a facilitator? Or are you considering starting a facilitation gig? "How to Facilitate Groups" is a great guide to help you make a move from simply putting people together for training to creating a collaborative group. Facilitation may seem easy, but there are many things that happen in the background that some do not consider. Arm yourself with tools that will help you craft communication skills and become an amazing facilitator. Facilitators today have to be prepared to learn and grow at a rapid rate. They have to be ready to take on the curve balls that are more likely to happen than not. Building your skills as a facilitator is about more than just simply putting a group of people together and telling them to solve the problem. It is about showing them how their collaboration can improve their work environment, about how their communication and development can help them grow individually and achieve their personal and professional goals. This requires you as the facilitator to gain their engagement and attention. To prove that they can trust you, and to prove to themselves very often that they are capable of more than they currently are doing. YOU WILL LEARN: The foundations for facilitation. Why flexibility is important. How to know your audience. Differences in learning styles. Strategies for successful engagement of your audience. How to maintain the energy of the group. Ways to motivate learning and collaboration. The importance of being neutral. Skills to encourage interactions. How to warp up your facilitation. And much more. Regardless of where you are in your skills as a group facilitator, this can provide you with a guide for success. The ball is in your court. Let's see what you can do to make opportunities happen!

Today peer groups often take the place of traditional guides - family, church and school - among teenagers. Unfortunately, peers don't always have the skill or knowledge to provide the type of guidance required. A companion to the main text, this resource book is intended for student participants and peer leaders in a group workshop setting. It is designed as an aid for both participant and facilitator to monitor progress during the course of the workshop.

The peer-to-peer (P2P) training approach involves small groups of people from similar social groupings, who are not professional teachers, helping each other to learn. The P2P approach has great potential for rapidly identifying emerging lessons learned and integrating them into wide-reaching Army training. The present research identified the instructional principles and best practices for P2P from academia, industry, and the military supporting effective P2P training and incorporated them into a Soldier-friendly facilitator?s guide. A formative evaluation was conducted with Soldiers using the guide to prepare and conduct group discussions for a face-to-face group setting and a distributed group setting where Soldiers were linked via video teleconference. One group of Soldiers served as ?facilitators? and used the facilitator?s guide to prepare and lead discussions with other Soldiers who served as ?learners.? Feedback on the guide was mostly positive with Soldiers indicating that the guide provided an appropriate amount of information and a usable format and tools for structuring and fostering group discussions. Ongoing efforts to transition P2P methods into Army training are discussed.
