National Announcement - Family Support Group Trainers and Facilitators - March 20, 2014



Dear NAMI Family Support Group Trainers and Facilitators:

Thank you to those who participated in the very productive call last Thursday. We had almost 100 participants, many of whom shared a lot of valuable group wisdom on the do’s and don’ts of NAMI Family Support Group and how to avoid facilitator burnout.

Program Announcements:

·        The next Facilitator and Trainer call will be held on April 10th at 3 pm ET. If you have a program question you would like addressed by the group the call please send me an email with your question/topic of interest.

·        2014 Facilitator and Trainer manual (and facilitator guide) updates are now available for download on the FSG program intranet.

·        Pre-registration is now open for Training of Trainers in Washington D.C. in June. If you are interested in becoming a State Trainer, the first step is to contact your NAMI State Office. For more detailed information on this training opportunity, please follow this link: www.nami.org/ttinfo

·        If you haven’t visited the FSG program intranet page already, please check it out! There are a number of resources for FSG Facilitators, Trainers, and Coordinators: www.nami.org/FSG/intranet . Here you will find the problem-solving module, a personalizable marketing flyer, 2014 manual page updates, and much more!   


The call recording is posted on the Recorded Webinars/Conference Calls section of our Education Helpdesk under the “NAMI Family Support Group” header. Thank you and please feel to reach out to Maria Cruz, mcruz@nami.org, or myself with questions/comments.

Best Regards,
Julie
