Facilitator quick card

Before the session

  1. Know the purpose, population, activity, safety plan, and what evidence the session must produce.
  2. Check the room, exits, privacy, accessibility, interpreter needs, transportation, technology, and emergency contacts.
  3. Use the current approved curriculum. Do not replace a planned skill with an unstructured conversation because the room is lively.

During the session

  1. Welcome: explain what will happen, the right to pass, confidentiality limits, and how to ask for help.
  2. Teach one idea: use plain language, an example, and a check for understanding.
  3. Practice: every session needs a role-play, map, card, plan, rehearsal, or other visible skill product.
  4. Process: ask what worked, what was hard, what the skill protects, and where it will be used.
  5. Commit: each person names one realistic next step and one support.

When concern appears

  1. Describe what you saw or heard. Do not guess motive or diagnosis.
  2. Ask calmly and directly. Listen before correcting.
  3. Check immediate safety within your role. Do not promise secrecy.
  4. Use the approved escalation pathway. Do not improvise beyond scope.
  5. Complete the handoff: accepted, scheduled, confirmed, and tracked.

After the session

  1. Record attendance, activity, practice evidence, adaptations, safety actions, and assigned follow-up.
  2. Put person-level content in the authorized system—not in this browser.
  3. Report barriers early. A plan without an owner and date is a wish wearing a tie.
