Frequently Asked Questions
What is facilitator training?
Volunteer Facilitator Training will teach you how to facilitate a Dougy Center peer grief support group. You will develop self-awareness and explore your own grief and loss. We recommend that you have an established support system (personal and/or professional) before taking the training.
I applied but there aren’t training spots available. How do I get a spot?
We make decisions about training spots based on several factors, including:
a) our current group needs,
b) your availability (days/times/location),
c) the order in which applications are received, and
d) how responsive applicants are to emails and phone calls.
Because our trainings tend to fill up quickly, it’s possible to be accepted as a volunteer but not immediately placed in a training. If your application is accepted and the current training is already full, we will hold your application and contact information and notify you as soon as a spot becomes available in the next training. We offer trainings three times a year.
Is Dougy Center committed to equity and inclusion?
Absolutely! We are committed to ensuring that our grief support resources and peer support groups are welcoming, accessible, relevant, culturally appropriate, and meaningful for all members of our community.
