What Is The Role Of A Facilitator?

One or more people can be facilitators, or the role can be shared among members. Remember, the facilitator guides the group, but everyone is equal.

A facilitator helps the peer support group by:

• Making sure everyone feels comfortable and welcome to share their thoughts.
• Asking questions that encourage members to talk and think more deeply.
• Ensuring the conversation stays focused on the topic.
• Helping members support each other and share their experiences.
• Showing respectful and positive ways to interact.
• Handling any issues or conflicts that arise during the meeting.
