Are you interested in taking on a new challenge to grow your facilitation skills and support your peers in doing good better? Or are you already an experienced group coach/therapist?
Rethink Wellbeing will host 25+ peer groups in 2025 to help members of the EA community improve their mental resilience and productivity. Be a part of our journey and volunteer as a peer group facilitator.
As a volunteer facilitator, you will lead weekly online group sessions for 8 weeks, followed by a reunion session one month later. In total, the program will run for 12 weeks, and you will facilitate 9 group sessions. Our facilitators also support their peer group between sessions via our online community. Time for session preparation, learning, and development varies according to experience.
Volunteer to support people who have committed themselves to doing good to feel better and achieve more across a broad range of important altruistic causes. This is also an amazing opportunity for self-development. Specific CBT and therapy experience is not required, but it is appreciated. Some experience in group facilitation is necessary. We will support you throughout! All successful applicants are invited to complete our bespoke facilitator training program, receive supervision from our Program Manager, and get access to our expert support network.
