How are Befrienders Trained? |
|
All Face 2 Face
befrienders receive over thirty hours of training, normally run over six days.
 The Face 2 Face foundation training course is carefully designed to help befrienders
handle different situation - to make sure they have the skills and knowledge
to support new parents.
By the end of the course trainees should:
- understand the range and variety of emotions around parents’ discovery
of a child’s disability
- have developed skills in self-awareness and be aware of their
own capacity for empathy
- have developed their communication skills
- understand how Face 2 Face works.
Training courses are run by professional trainers and are monitored to make
sure they reach the required Face 2 Face standard.
