Co-facilitators will use their lived experience, training and interpersonal skills to support a space where everyone is valued as an equal participant.

The role is about helping to create a space where people can:
Feel safe, heard and accepted.
Talk openly about what is on their minds and in their hearts.
Explore and better understand their emotions.
Develop self-worth and self-care.
Build meaningful connections with others.
Share experiences, strengths and hope.
Begin to imagine and work towards a better life for themselves and their communities.

How the groups will work
The groups will be semi-structured, giving people enough structure to feel safe while leaving room for the group to shape the conversation.

A typical session may include:
A group agreement, created and agreed together.
A quote or thought for the day.
An ice-breaker.
A discussion prompt.
Open group discussion and sharing.
A closing reflection, such as one thing each person is looking forward to.

Co-facilitators will help guide the session, but the group itself will be a collaborative effort between members and facilitators. We want members to have a genuine voice in shaping the community.
