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 late-July and will need to complete approximately 1.5 hours of self-paced work prior to the first live session on August 3, 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: July 20, 2026
• Live Zoom Sessions: August 3 and August 24; Times: 9 a.m.–11 a.m. PT (12 p.m.–2 p.m. ET)

NOTE:  Although registration will remain open until August 2, participants who register after July 3 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.
