What Skills Should A Facilitator Have?

To guide the group effectively, a facilitator should:

Help everyone feel valued and heard.
Show kindness, understanding, and listen carefully without judgment.
Share ideas but don’t push personal views onto others.
Offer personal experiences to help with discussions when appropriate.
Keep the discussion focused and on track.
Show up regularly and follow through on promises.
Know how important their role is in helping the group.
Stay involved regularly to build trust and support good group dynamics. Frequent changes can make it hard for members to feel secure.
