How do I become certified to lead healing groups?

Those who wish to lead healing groups, must first be trained and certified in any of THI's small group programs. Here's how you can get started:

1. Experience a Healing Group. THI requires that all facilitators experience an adult healing group prior to their training experience. This will give you a sense of what a healing group is like as a participant, and help you decide if you want to lead healing groups yourself. Visit the THI Events Calendar to find a healing group that works for you. 
2. Determine what program you want to be trained in. Visit our Lead A Group page to learn about the different options. A brief description of the program offerings is below. 

THI offers 2 ways to lead healing groups:

1. Using our book-based programs. These programs requires attending an Initial Equipping session, completing a practicum, and attending an Advanced Equipping. Training requirements are about 60-80 hours to use any of our book-based programs. Visit the THI Events Calendar to find an Initial Equipping session to start your training journey!
2. Using our app-based program. THI recently developed an adult app-based program, Anchored in Hope. To use this program, simply download the THI app from your app store onto your phone or tablet, create a free account, take the 2.5 hour video-based training, and then you'll get access to the program!
