The Training Process
1. Curriculum Familiarization
Dive into our Mental Health Guidance Curriculum. This groundwork will prepare you for your training and help you better understand our approach.
2. Training Session with an OOVI Expert
Engage in a video conference call with an OOVI Expert. During this call, you will go over the basic fundamentals of our curriculum. You will learn valuable insights, procedures, why we do what we do, and you will have time to ask any questions regarding our curriculum.
3. Observation Period
After Training, you will be required to observe a minimum of 5 group sessions to gain insights into how the curriculum is applied in a real group setting. You may observe as many sessions as you need until you feel confident to move forward.
4. Co-Facilitation Experience
Co-facilitate a minimum of 3 groups alongside an OOVI Expert. The Expert will be present during the entire session and will only step in if needed. As you are leading the group, your efforts will be graded and evaluated. After each session, the Trainee and Expert will discuss what went right, what needs improvement, and further insights into creating a positive and forward-thinking group session. Each Trainee must have three successfully led Group Sessions. The notes are then reviewed by OOVI's directors for acceptance into the program.
5. Congratulations! You're officially a Certified OOVI Guide!
You're officially a Certified OOVI Guide! You are on the path to providing meaningful change while earning a generous wage! To set up, one of our experts will walk you through and advise you on creating your first Group session, as well as setting up your availability for one-on-one session requests.
