FPI
The Art of Facilitation
Levels 2 & 3
Description
This 3-day ONLINE workshop combines the most essential elements of Levels 2 and 3 of FPI’s Facilitator Training Series. The full training series explores FPI’s trauma-responsive approach to battering intervention and the essential tools and skills needed to incorporate FPI’s approach into any facilitator’s intervention practice.
Building on the internal-focused dialogue approach that is introduced in FPI’s Level 1: The Art of Facilitation, this experiential workshop strikes a balance between learning through experience, practice and theory. Participants will explore the advanced skills of effective emotional work and how to apply those skills in order to increase the impact of intervention efforts.
Specific skills and tools that will be explored in this workshop include:
● Continued application of the Shadow Message
● Expanding on the Golden Shadow Message
● The use of the Process Log
● Trust and Integrity in the group room
● The Funnel Process for transformational change
● Exploring Shame
● Defense systems and Doorways

● Accountability and Repair
● Healing from Betrayal
● Staging group conversations for maximum engagement
● Application of Battering Motive
● Mindfulness activities to access introspection
All participants will receive a FREE copy of the Family Peace Initiative’s Facilitator’s Tool Chest. This collection of tools used in the FPI approach is a valuable resource for facilitator’s looking for tools that can help to create transformational change among those served.
