CMT Facilitator Training (overview)
The CMT Facilitator Training course will equip participants with the theoretical and practical skills to deliver the CMT 8-week Course (Irons & Heriot-Maitland, 2020). The course consists of four parts, which includes elements of personal practice, theoretical and practical work, responding to common issues and feedback, and supervision of facilitating CMT sessions.
The only pre-requisite for participants enrolling on this course is that they must be a health or social care practitioner with experience of working with mental health and wellbeing.
