Facilitation is a skill. When done correctly, a facilitator can guide a group of people through a process of trust building, recognizing common ground, attending to multiple agendas, respecting each other’s voice and ultimately establishing a cohesive team with shared responsibility, accountability and one integrated plan. When not done well, it can perpetuate a sense of hopelessness, poor planning, and agencies, children and families feeling isolated and ineffective.
