Unbroken Facilitator Training for Alumni Caregivers
Sponsored by: Triwest Healthcare Alliance,
Paul’s Ace Hardware, City of Scottsdale, and private donations
Thursday, 10/17/2024 – Monday, 10/21/2024
In this training, caregivers will learn to lead and facilitate future Unbroken retreats; specifically broadening communication skills for our retreats and the Veteran-caregiver community at-large.
Unbroken-facilitator training will consist of one day with Dr. Diane Millis in Scottsdale, Arizona and 3 days of mock-retreat sessions in northern Arizona. During our time with Diane, caregivers will study the theory behind Dr. Millis’ communication style, develop strategies that encourage self-reflection, gather insights on encouraging story building, and develop a syllabus that keeps us on track. Dr. Millis facilitated our first Unbroken retreat and could continue to facilitate future retreats, but it is her goal, and ours, that our caregivers learn to lead. Diane is at the heart of our facilitator-training project and is committed to mentoring our Veteran caregivers.
