Draft Agenda for Two Day Training

Five day trainer-of-trainers
The five day training format is designed as a trainer-of-trainers approach to expand the community's capability in addressing the impact of historical trauma in the community. Two experienced Takini training facilitators bring to the community an array of experience and knowledge that is sensitive to the community's history and culture. The trainers will collaborate in designing the training with a local planning team to ensure material presented is culturally appropriate and sensitive. Additionally, local healers are included to assist the Takini faciliation team's work by responding to the social, cultural and spiritual needs of the participants.
