Around the Table Older Adults – Facilitator Training

Description:  This unique training will equip participants to facilitate the Older Adults Around the Table curriculum.  Participants will:

• Learn how to implement the Older Adults Around the Table curriculum
• Explore the relationship between positive and adverse experiences and nourishment
• Develop compassionate facilitation strategies
• Engage in personal and group reflection

Audience:  Educators working with older adults. [If an agency has multiple participants, each participant must register separately so that their registration email address can then be added to our online training system.]

Training Delivery and Dates:  This program includes self-paced content (videos, reflection activities, and readings) and live, instructor-led sessions. Registered participants will gain access to our online training system (TalentLMS) when the course opens in mid-April and will need to complete approximately 1.5 hours of self-paced work prior to the first live session on April 30, 2026.  Participants will have access to digital curriculum files and will be sent a Curriculum Bundle.  Key dates are as follows:

• Self-Paced Course Opens:  mid-April
• Live Zoom Sessions: April 30 and May 14; Times: 10 a.m.–12 p.m. PT

NOTE:  Although registration will remain open until April 30th, participants who register after April 10 may not receive the hardcopy curriculum bundle until after the first session, in which case they will be able to use the digital curriculum for reference.

Total Training Time:  Approximately seven (7) hours total (four hours of live sessions and about three hours of self-paced work)

Materials:  One copy of the Instructor Guide and Workbook is included in the training cost.  Materials will be sent to participants once they purchase the training.

Next Steps:  Upon completion of this program, participants are certified to deliver the Older Adults Around the Table curriculum.
