The Role of a Facilitator

A Facilitator is a committed individual who also lives within the home but insures that an environment is established and maintained within the home which fosters and allows for the practice of independent living. This person acts as a life skill coach, a friend, a roommate, a guide, a teacher, among many more other roles. Each of these are acted out with respect, patience, understanding, and without person judgment. In return the facilitator is financially compensated and given a very unique opportunity while also receiving numerous accommodations and benefits. The specific duties or roles of the facilitator may change depending on the needs of the other Journey House residents, in order to best model and assist with independent living. The facilitator must prioritize and model life skills in a manner that promotes health, productive living as well as safety and wellbeing, at all times.
