Fatality Review Facilitation Training

Fatality review facilitation requires skill, neutrality, compassion, and the ability to guide partners through some of the most complex and emotionally charged conversations.

This 3-day in-person facilitator training (April 28–30 in St. Paul, MN) is designed to help new and experienced facilitators deepen their practice, build confidence, and strengthen their ability to lead meaningful, productive reviews.

Throughout the training, you will:

• Learn foundational and advanced facilitation techniques

• Practice leading key portions of the meeting with supportive coaching

• Strengthen skills for managing group dynamics, conflict, and emotional content

• Build routines for grounding, self-care, and resilience

• Connect with peers who understand this work

• Enjoy food, movement breaks, reflective activities, and even a little fun

  
  

This is more than a training — it’s a space to grow, practice, recharge, and return home equipped to lead effective, inclusive, and actionable fatality review meetings that make a difference in your community.
