Pre-Requisites
Accredited IMPACT Coaches can demonstrate they are:

2. Adelaide workshop – trainees will be provided all the resources, content and coaching support to deliver the IMPACT Foundations workshop.
3. Pre-delivery coaching – trainers will be provided 3 x 1 hour of online coaching to support them to deliver their first IMPACT Foundations workshop in the 6 weeks prior to first delivery. A post-delivery reflective activity finalises the accreditation.
Dr Ivan Raymond will be coordinating the pre-workshop preparation and deliver the Train-the-Trainer workshop.
Allocated LBI Community Leads will be providing the pre-delivery coaching sessions.
Cost structure in-built into the agency or school service agreement.
Community partners are invited to register their interest for the Train-The-Trainer opportunity, with formal invites coming out mid February 2023.
