FACILITATOR FOR FRESH HOPE FOR MENTAL HEALTH

SUPPORT GROUPS

What is Fresh Hope for Mental Health?

Fresh Hope is a peer-to-peer Christ-centered wellness approach to mental health recovery based upon seven tenets that empowers people to connect both their faith and recovery principles. This approach both empowers and encouraging individuals live full and rich lives in spite of their diagnosis.

What is a Facilitator?

A Facilitator is someone trained by Fresh Hope to lead a Fresh Hope Support Group Meeting. Facilitators lead from the standpoint of providing peer-to-peer support. They can be individuals who have either experienced a mental health challenge themselves or have a loved one who has. Those who know people who are struggling and want to come alongside of them and serve them might also receive the training to become a facilitator.

What is the Role of a Facilitator for a Fresh Hope for Mental Health Support Group?

A Facilitator does not teach or preach but mainly presents a topic and then fosters conversation around it. Fresh Hope provides materials for over two years of meetings (assuming the group meets on a weekly basis). Facilitators are free to “build” the order in which they approach topics, depending on the specific needs they observe in their group.

Fresh Hope provides ongoing support for Facilitators including personalized coaching on how to get the group started, a monthly facilitator meeting, and a monthly episode of the facilitator’s podcast.

“People are desperate for hope. They want a sure and certain hope. And I believe that Fresh Hope is an opportunity for the Christian Church to reach out to hurting people.”
