Why Join ShareWell’s Host Training?
Did you know ShareWell offers a free, in-depth host training program to help you grow as a peer support facilitator? Support is at the heart of everything we do. This training not only strengthens your facilitation skills but also supports your personal healing journey.
Our 9-module self-paced training was created in partnership with three licensed mental health professionals, an executive coach, and members of the ShareWell team. The program is designed for both new and experienced hosts—no prior facilitation experience is required.
Whether you’ve hosted groups before or are just getting started, this training provides guidance, tools, and practice. Even if you’re not ready to host yet, you can join to develop peer support and facilitation skills at your own pace.

By completing the program, you’ll learn how to facilitate peer support groups on topics you care about while gaining tools that support your own growth and healing.
