Leading a Team RevivR session
Leading a Team RevivR training session couldn’t be easier. The content is very similar to the individual version of RevivR; however, this training takes around 30 minutes and requires the use of a shared screen as well as individual phones and cushions.
Anyone can facilitate the training, you don’t need to be a trained professional.
We have lots of helpful resources to support you in running a Team RevivR session:
Once you have scheduled a Team RevivR training session you can use this Training Poster to promote it within your community.
