Facilitator Training

Stellar Solutions is a licensed partner of the Pathways Health & Research Centre and as such is licensed to deliver the world-renowned FRIENDS programs developed by Dr Paula Barrett.

By attending a one-day training workshop you will be certified to introduce and maintain an ongoing FRIENDS program in your school or clinic (under the License Agreement).

If you would like to introduce the FRIENDS program into your school or organisation, we also offer in-service training days. This is the more economical option where several staff wish to take part. We can send an accredited FRIENDS trainer to you to run a one-day staff in-service.

All participants will become fully certified FRIENDS facilitators once they have completed the one-day workshop. Please contact us for more information.
