Healthy Congregations is providing an opportunity for people in the Great Lakes region to be trained as facilitators in a way which many may find easier to accommodate in their schedules. The training will take the normal time frame of three days and cover all facilitator materials, but the three days of training will be spread throughout the spring. We hope you will choose to be part of this exciting opportunity.
