The role of a group facilitator is to ensure that group members are fully able to parti cipate, interactions among participants go smoothly, and that the group ac hieves its intended goal. Sometimes as a facilitator, you have to discuss difficult topics as part of a workshop, training, or facilitated experienc e. Elements of a facilitated experience may not always go as planned, espe cially if the group is discussing a difficult topic or sharing personal st ories or narratives. As a facilitator, you want to be prepared for any sit uation and create the best possible experience for participants in a group . \;
