Restarting Facilitators
Careful directions for facilitators on how to prepare for a Restarting group can be found in the Restarting Workbook on pages 163-171. You will need to read those pages carefully and follow the instructions for your own preparation and that of you church or group. We want – and you need – for this experience to change you as a facilitator as much as it changes those who go through the program. Obviously the best way is to go through Restarting and the rest of the course twice before you try leading. Most of the time this will not be possible because you are starting a program where there has not been one before. Still, you can only train others from what you have learned yourself.
Look through the full set of videos and study the workbook. If you have questions about your specific location we suggest that you schedule a consultation with Ed Khouri and his consultants. Ed and Maritza were central to the development of Restarting and Thriving. They have experience in churches, jails, rehabilitation programs and are international trainers in addiction recovery. You can contact a coordinator to help schedule a consultation at 904-215-9606 or by e-mail. Those who purchase a Restarting Open Group License Program Kit receive a 30-minute consultation with Ed and his team as part of the package. Start your program with some guidance!
We now offer a 2 DVD set of Ed teaching all facilitators how to run all the exercises in Restarting! This DVD set is a must have for facilitators who haven't been through training, or even those who just want to refresh their memory! Buy your Facilitator Training DVD set today!
Some churches and ministries prefer a live facilitator training session to equip leaders with skills necessary to begin a new Restarting group. To find out how you can have Ed come to your church or ministry visit Ed's website at www.equippinghearts.com. Or if you're interested in attending a facilitator training conference, you can email us now to be added to our US based training notification list.
If you are not sure yet that you want to do the Restarting program then buy the Restarting Home License version and a Restarting workbook and go through the teaching. You can learn the Immanuel Process directly from materials developed by Dr. Karl Lehman. We suggest that you go through his materials, videos and conferences whenever you can and visit his website www.kclehman.com. You will also want to study the Life Model on the www.lifemodel.org site for the theory behind Thriving. From there you will want to see the brain skills training we use at that www.thrivetoday.org site. Each of these sites has many resources for your growth and together they represent thousands of pages of free downloads and hundreds of hours of media.
It has come to our attention that there is a worksheet missing from the Restarting Workbook from Chapter 9. You can download the Level 4+ Healthy Interdependence worksheet here and then print it out for your groups.
