Hi Simon, thanks for your questions and you bring up good points!
For the facilitator training hours, it was a mix of in-person and virtual: - 2 days of orientation in person β 4 days of interpersonal therapy training. We had the group gather in-person, but the training was actually led virtually by a team from Columbia University. So potentially in the future, people who are unable to attend in person could attend virtually only - the remainder of the training hours occurred during weekly supervision meetings which happens fully virtually
Our plan for future trainings is to hold them in cohort groups of people who are all from a specific geographic region, so we could just send the trainers for the duration of the training days.
Alternatively for cohorts groups who are more disperse, we will likely have to help with the public transportation costs, but we have a partnership with a local conference center who has promised to house us for free.
In general, this is a we have budgeted for a 30% turnover rate for our facilitators each year.
Happy to share the training budget details with anyone who is interested: joy@vidaplena.global
