Facilitator Training and Retention
FACILITATOR TRAINING AND RETENTION: PAL GROWS WHEN A PEER PARENT DECIDES TO VOLUNTEER TO HELP OTHERS BY STARTING A NEW PAL MEETING. AT THE END OF 2023, WE HAD 449 ACTIVE FACILITATORS. OF THOSE, 82 WERE TRAINED AND NEWLY CERTIFIED IN 2023. INITIAL TRAINING IS OFFERED ONLINE. NEW AND EXISTING FACILITATORS ALSO HAD ACCESS TO SPECIALIZED VIRTUAL TRAINING ON TOPICS INCLUDING ADAPTING WHEN THE INDIVIDUAL WITH SUD IS A MINOR (THE PROGRAM IS TARGETED TO PARENTS OF ADULTS) AND ON THE SPECIAL ISSUES FACED BY GRANDPARENTS WHEN THE LOVED ONE WITH AN ADDICTION HAS CHILDREN. VIDEOS AND OTHER RESOURCES ARE ALSO AVAILABLE TO FACILITATORS IN AN ONLINE PORTAL.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2023 – Dec 31, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$101.3KPublic Awareness Initiatives
PUBLIC AWARENESS: PARENTS OFTEN, DUE TO FEELINGS OF SHAME, DO NOT REACH OUT TO FAMILY OR FRIENDS TO SHARE OR SEEK HELP WITH THE CHALLENGES THEY ARE EXPERIENCING RELATED TO THEIR LOVED ONE SUFFERING THROUGH ADDICTION.
