Interested in Becoming a Trained Facilitator?

Facilitators typically work in pairs to run HOP sessions for 6-10 participants and lead discussions, guide completion of provided worksheets, and support participants through the 3 phases of the program. Facilitators use a comprehensive, user-friendly HOP manual with a step-by-step workbook and corresponding worksheets to run HOP groups. Facilitators can receive a two-day training before leading HOP groups. To learn more about cost and hosting options, email Madeline Oppenheim at moppenheim@iit.edu.
