PURPOSE OF WILDFLOWERS TRAINING

• Help group leaders have the confidence to successfully facilitate an "In the Wildflowers" group.
• Help group leaders know how to supervise unlicensed lay-people to facilitate an
  "In the Wildflowers" group.
• Help group leaders see the project "first hand" so they can assist their clients involved with "In the Wildflowers". Each participant going through the project is required to meet with a therapist.
• Provide a "safe place" for the facilitators to heal themselves. The intensity of this project may "trigger" past issues in the therapist. Participating in the training will assist them to heal from any unresolved issues before they lead others in their healing process.
