Specialized training is available for certified G.R.E.A.T. instructors who are interested
in delivering the G.R.E.A.T. Families component in their communities. This intensive
training will prepare lead facilitators to plan, organize, and conduct the G.R.E.A.T.
Families program in their communities. Certified lead facilitators are authorized
to train their own cofacilitation teams. Cofacilitators can include teachers, youth
counselors, members of the faith community, parents, or other qualified adults who
are committed to working with families.
The G.R.E.A.T. Families Training (GFT) is a two-day, 16-hour class. Only certified
G.R.E.A.T. instructors are eligible to attend GFT classes. See the
GFT Training Schedule for a list of current training opportunities and the
G.R.E.A.T. Families Training Application
to apply for training.
If an officer is G.R.E.A.T.-certified but has not taught in the classroom during
the past two (2) school years, he/she must attend a regular 40-hour G.R.E.A.T.
Officer Training (GOT) class for recertification prior to enrolling in the GFT.
