Working with Families

Working with families can be complex and this dynamic can be challenging, exciting and rewarding. If the facilitators put in place knowledge/education, strong ground rules and healthy boundaries they can have faith that healing will continue and grow once their part of the work has been completed.

  • Objectivity is fundamental in facilitating group work. The facilitators need to stay off the 'Drama Triangle'
  • Permission, Protection and Potency (TA) create a safe and fertile space – Non Violent Communication allows for compassionate listening and respectful interaction
  • You must be the change you want to see in the world

Mahatma Ghandi

Facilitators model respectful and co-operative behaviour towards each other

Allow others to have their own processes – there is enough time.
