Wanted Support Group Facilitators

With dozens of support groups throughout the state, most meeting weekly, the BRN needs qualified nurses to facilitate or co-facilitate each group. The facilitator’s role is to lead the group, keep discussions on track, provide interventions and referrals in the event of a crisis and complete the group’s various official reports.

Facilitator Requirements

To become a facilitator, you must be a currently licensed RN, not on probation and with no pending charges. You need at least three years of substance abuse or mental health experience, including some prior group process experience. Naturally, you must also believe in the 12-step and disease models and agree to maintain participants’ confidentiality.
