BC Council for Families: Nobody's Perfect Facilitator Training
Nobody’s Perfect Facilitator TrainingJune 2-5, 2014 St. Eugene Golf Resort & Casino, Cranbrook, BC $385 (register before May 12)
Nobody’s Perfect is a parenting education program where parents can share their experiences and concerns and receive the support of other parents, in addition to support and resources provided by two skilled and knowledgeable facilitators.
The program, developed for Canadian parents of every cultural community, has been consistently demonstrated to positively impact the parenting knowledge, skills and confidence of participants. For parents in particularly stressful situations (when there simply isn’t enough money; when they’re new to the community or to the country; when they’re young, or under-educated; or struggling without a partner or family support) being part of a supportive group of parents who understand and share their difficulties can make all the difference.
Who is this training for? The Nobody’s Perfect facilitator training is specifically aimed at those with previous experience and/or education in facilitating groups and working with children, youth and families. You will already be comfortable with the basic principles of adult education, currently employed with or volunteering at a multi-service or family support organization, and passionate about supporting families in all their diversity.

- Knowledge of Nobody’s Perfect program objectives and materials
- Increased awareness of the principles of adult education and their application to the Nobody’s Perfect program parents
- Enhanced skills in assessing the needs of parent groups
