What is a Spiritual First Aid Facilitator?  

 

 Spiritual First Aid Facilitators are volunteers who help bring the Spiritual First Aid Certificate Course to life for groups, and in doing so, equip others to care for mental health needs, spiritual struggles, and trauma.

The Mental Health Crisis is Complicated, Facilitating Shouldn't Be 

Are any of these holding you back from becoming a facilitator?

I don't have the time.

I don't have the expertise.

I don't know how to launch a course.

I don't feel ready to lead others.

I don't enjoy leading groups because of cumbersome materials.

I don't know if I've used Spiritual First Aid enough to lead a course.

You don’t have to be a mental health expert, have all the “right” answers, or have lots of experience. All that is needed is a desire to help equip others because of our easy-to-use facilitator resources.
