G.R.E.A.T. Families Training (GFT)

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 two-day 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 and have been properly vetted by the appropriate law enforcement agency.
