Facilitators: Terry Gurno & Jeremy Brennan

Learn how to walk alongside others with compassion, presence, and meaningful support.

Most people genuinely want to help when someone is hurting.

But often, we feel unsure what to say, what to do, or how to respond.

So we try to fix the situation. We offer advice too quickly. We search for the right words.

Or we pull back because we don’t want to make things worse.

This training is designed to help you become the kind of person others can safely turn to during life’s difficult seasons.

A true hope giver does not rush to fix. They learn to be present.

This experience will help you develop the mindset, skills, and emotional awareness needed to come alongside people in a way that builds trust, strengthens resilience, and helps restore hope.

This workshop is ideal for:

• Volunteers and community leaders

• Church leaders and care teams

• Coaches and mentors

• Family members supporting loved ones

• Healthcare and helping professionals

• Anyone who wants to be more supportive and compassionate

• Anyone who has ever said, “I just don’t know what to say.”

You do not need prior training. You simply need a willingness to learn.
