All MEND 2-5 programs require leaders to attend our tried and true training. The two-day leader’s training will equip your team with the skills, knowledge and confidence required to run a successful program. It is focused on the practical delivery and contents of the 10-week program and it is recommended that your entire MEND 2-5 team attends both days of training.

The training consists of three modules:

MODULE 1: Once leaders have booked their training workshop event through the online booking system, the distance learning is sent to each attendee before their training workshop. It covers program content, key concepts, and introduces facilitation skills needed to deliver the program. A self-assessment quiz helps leaders check their knowledge and understanding of the pre-workshop information.

MODULE 2: The two-day training explains what MEND 2-5  is, who it’s for and why it works; it helps leaders learn effective facilitation skills and understand the manuals and resources. It covers healthy eating, principles of behavior change, healthy growth checks and guidance on delivering all components of the program.

MODULE 3: The MEND 2-5 assessment certifies each leader to deliver MEND 2-5.  MEND 2-5  Leaders complete a reflective practice log during their first program delivery.

Choose this option if you prefer to send a small number of your team members to one of our easily accessed centralized trainings.  If you prefer to have our MEND trainers come to your organization, please choose the group, onsite option.
