FPI The Art of Facilitation Levels 2&3

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.
