Carers Victoria Support Group Facilitator Survey

Carers Victoria are excited to be launching a Community of Practice for Support Group Facilitators in 2021. We have worked closely with support group facilitators across Victoria over many years and you told us you want practical skills and opportunities to connect with other facilitators. We are committed to making this happen in 2021!

We are designing a program for 2021 to bring support group facilitators together in an ongoing capacity. We hope to have 5 groups across Victoria that will meet every few months. Please provide us feedback on how best to run the community of practice and include your contact details so we can be in touch in the new year.
