What qualifications are needed to facilitate a support group?

You should be an experienced professional or trained facilitator in your area of focus — such as health, life events, relationships, or wellness. All groups must follow MentalHappy’s guidelines for non-clinical, peer-based support (no diagnosing, no treatment plans, no medication recommendations).
