Become a Facilitator

Our support groups could not take place without the generosity and dedication of our volunteer facilitators. Many have first-hand experience of anxiety themselves and all are passionate about helping others to cope with their own anxiety difficulties.

Could you help others to manage their anxiety by running a support group?

WayAhead provides training, resources and ongoing assistance to our facilitators and will help to advertise the group to your prospective attendees.

Our next Facilitator Training day is on 2nd November 2018

Held at Collective Purpose, Woolloomooloo.
For more information contact Rachel on 9339 6013 or email supportgroups@wayahead.org.au

We are always keen to hear from people thinking of setting up a group themselves, so if you think this might be for you, or if you have any further questions about becoming a facilitator, please contact us on 02 9339 6013 or email supportgroups@wayahead.org.au.

Facilitator Training Days

Our training days usually take place twice a year at the Collective Purpose Hub in Woolloomooloo. There are no upcoming events at this time.

Providing support to a diverse community

WayAhead especially welcomes expressions of interest in running our support groups from First Nations, culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) and LGBTI Australians. You can find out more in our Diversity and Inclusion Strategy. We also provide translated resources for people from non-English speaking backgrounds.

..We are currently looking for volunteers to run an Arabic-speaking support group. If this could be you, please.. ..get in touch!..
