Why trauma-informed? 

Because trauma-informed facilitators...

  • Bear witness, listen without judgment and validate others’ experiences.

  • Refrain from giving advice.

  • Know why, what, and when to apply grounding and self-care tools or practices during group sessions.

  • Allow space where losses are named and mourned.

  • Ask what safety looks and feels like for them.

  • Recognize and affirm strengths.

  • Provide resources.

  • Remain self-aware, differentiated.

  • Understand when, why, and how to refer.

  • Practice personal boundaries and self-care.

Perhaps your post-discovery journey included a season in a support group. After a while, you began feeling a tug to lead a group yourself. You understood the unique needs and experiences partners' face, and that the facilitator's role feels overwhelming. That's why the ADOH trauma-informed peer facilitator training community exists.
Peer-facilitator training and support designed specifically for partners is important for you and group members. In groups led by well-trained (and supported) peer-facilitators, group members feel safe, heard, seen, and know they are not alone - and experience authentic and empathetic connections where they can move ahead in their recovery journeys.
