Waves Facilitator Training 

Since November 2022 anyone facilitating the Waves programme should have attended training on the refreshed version. The programme aims to build upon what has already been established by Dr Chris Bowden and offers the facilitators across Aotearoa a kete full of resources - making Waves a living programme that can be adaptable to different communities. 

Waves aims to confront and challenge maladaptive coping, build safety and strong relationships, teach good coping skills, and highlight the trauma of suicide.
