Revive Group Facilitation Training May/June 2025 in Person

Revive Group Facilitation training is a 21-hour in person training designed to build awareness of the issues impacting people impacted by sexual harm and build the skills to support them in peer groups.   This training curriculum is the pathway to becoming a Revive Group Facilitation Volunteer at CJI and co-facilitate a group alongside an experienced volunteer starting in September 2025.   Included in this training is information on understanding the impacts on and needs of survivors, offenders and their families.  Speakers with lived experience will share their experiences of restorative responses to the harm they experienced or caused.  Adults of all genders and with no previous experience with this work are welcome to register.   We especially welcome those with lived experience to register.

Prior to training, the Facilitation team will send out materials to view prior to the first day of training.  Those hoping to volunteer with Revive must complete this component.

Following training, those wanting to volunteer will be invited into an interview process to talk about the next steps.

This 21-hour training takes place over 7 Tuesday evenings between May – June 2025. Specifically, we will be meeting from 6-9pm on May 6, 13, 20, 27, and June 3, 10 and 17, 2025. We welcome registrants with lived experience and especially welcome male and non-binary volunteers. Attendance to all 7 sessions is required in order to move forward as a volunteer. If a session is missed, we will do our best to offer a make-up session, however, there are some pieces of the training that cannot be replicated one-to-one.

Revive relies on financial contributions from the community to run our programs and trainings. This training is valued at $450.00. We want this training to be accessible to everyone and therefore we have implemented a $300.00 fee for this training

We are incredibly grateful for your interest in becoming a volunteer and supporting Revive! If you have any questions about this process or want more information, please contact Mel at melhl@cjiwr.com.

Those registering will be sent a digital recording of some training content to review before the first day of training as well as a few reflection questions to respond to and submit.  It will take approximately 45 minutes total, to complete both components.  If you would like to get that recording without delay, please email Julie at julies@cjiwr.com
