This manual is designed to support you in your role as a facilitator, whether you are new to MyTime or looking to refresh your practice. It provides practical guidance, resources, and reference points to help you plan and deliver groups with confidence.

MyTime groups play a vital role in offering parents and carers a space to connect, share experiences, and find support. As a facilitator, you bring structure and safety to that space, and this manual has been created to guide you through what that involves.

Inside you’ll find:

• a list of key terms used throughout the manual
• an overview of the MyTime program and the principles that guide it
• information about setting up and running groups
• tools for planning and delivering sessions
• guidance for handling challenges and supporting members
• details on program requirements and where to find further support.

Think of this as a practical reference: something you can read through as you begin, and return to as needed. Together with the MyTime Guiding Principles handbook, it will help you build and sustain groups that are welcoming, safe, and effective.
