Leadership

Workshop leaders have been through the program and are continuing to deepen their understanding, skills and commitment by volunteering their time to facilitate small groups throughout the Breakthrough workshop.

Each workshop is led by a presenter who has several years experience with the workshop model and has actively participated in all aspects of the men's community. The presenter is assisted by group leaders who are also experienced and work in the small breakout groups. They are backed up by one or two allies who want to deepen their understanding and skills and are committed to developing their ability to lead these workshops. They will use materials gathered, developed and formatted by Fred Jealous. Fred provides support and supervision for these leaders.
