Training

The Guide

The Guide to the Training Resource gives an overview of the training materials and includes information for organisations/services and information for trainers. The Guide describes how the Training Program can assist organisations to engage actively with consumers and communities. The aim of the Training is to move beyond simply providing information to facilitating changes in attitudes and perceptions that lead to a change in practice.

The Training Program mirrors the partnership that organisations are endeavouring to cultivate and is designed for two trainers-a "provider-trainer" with a health professional background, and a "consumer-trainer". Ideally, both trainers would have background in education and training or would have an interest in acquiring skills in education and training.

Even though participatory methods are preferred, we recognise that people learn in different ways so the modules use a variety of methods from didactic to experiential.

Although developed for consumers and staff of primary care organisations, most of the materials have wider application.
