Facilitators

Learn to hold the room.

The Bro Chill Facilitator Toolkit trains coaches, mentors, chaplains, barbers, teachers, and program staff to lead honest emotional wellness conversations with men. It is not clinical training and it does not make you a therapist.

Who it is for

  • Mentors, coaches, and youth workers
  • Chaplains and men's ministry leaders
  • Barbers and shop owners
  • Teachers, counselors, and student support staff
  • Nonprofit, reentry, and workforce program staff

What you learn

  • Opening a circle so men actually talk
  • Using the Check-In Wheel as a language map
  • Holding silence, tension, and hard moments
  • Staying out of advice giving and diagnosis
  • Closing with a next safe move for every man in the room

What is included

  • Facilitator guide and session scripts
  • Check-In Wheel and facilitator card deck
  • Circle agreements and opening or closing routines
  • Referral and follow up templates
  • Ongoing facilitator community access

Safety and referral expectations

Facilitators do not diagnose, treat, or counsel. You agree to keep confidentiality, follow your organization's reporting duties, and connect a man to 988, 911, or professional care when safety is a concern.

Questions

Do I need to be a therapist?
No. Bro Chill facilitation is not therapy and facilitators do not provide clinical care. You learn to hold a safe conversation and to hand off well when a man needs more.
How long is training?
The core training runs in a one day intensive or three shorter virtual sessions, followed by a practice session with feedback.
Can women facilitate?
Bro Chill circles are held for men and generally facilitated by men. Women on your staff can be trained to run the tools in coaching, classroom, and program settings.
What does it cost?
The Facilitator Toolkit and training are priced separately from site licenses. Request a proposal and we will lay out the options for your setting.
