Session 2:
Presentation & Facilitation Techniques Giving & Receiving Feedback with MHFA Co-instructors
We all benefit when MHFA classes are taught well and to fidelity. The better each class is, the better the word on the street is about this program. Positive experiences mean more classes which means more work for all of us. By contrast, classes which are taught poorly may result in negative word-of-mouth which hurts the brand and means fewer classes for all of us. Feedback is a way for all of us to improve.
This session will cover:
- Managing Fear of Conflict
- Minimizing the fear (and the risk) of upsetting the other person
- Overcoming fear of retaliation
- Conquering the fear of saying the wrong thing
- And more
Complete all five Peer Practice Sessions and receive the Level Up Your MHFA Instruction Certificate of Completion in recognition of your commitment to professional growth and excellence in Mental Health First Aid instruction.
