Affinity Meeting
March 2, 2022 | 9:00am-3:00pm
Snow date: March 9, 2022
Affinity meetings provide an opportunity for providers across the state to come together, receive training, discuss their work, build relationships, and learn about and inform MECASA programs.
Support Group Facilitator Training
March 29, 30, & 31, 2022
This training meets all of the requirements for support group facilitators in the Quality Assurance Standards. It is intended for advocates who have completed the 40-hour Advocate Training to acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to confidentially co-facilitate an outreach, traditional, or experiential support group with an experienced co-facilitator. We will be covering the content from the Support Group Facilitator’s Manual (and more!).
This is a foundational training and will include small group discussions, individual writing & reflection, lecture, and facilitation practice. Volunteers and community partners with whom you are going to be co-facilitating support groups are welcome.
