The role of a g roup facilitator is to ensure that group members are fully able to partici pate, interactions among participants go smoothly, and that the group achi eves its intended goal. Sometimes as a facilitator, you have to discuss di fficult topics as part of a workshop, training, or facilitated experience. Elements of a facilitated experience may not always go as planned, especi ally if the group is discussing a difficult topic or sharing personal stor ies or narratives. As a facilitator, you want to be prepared for any situa tion and create the best possible experience for participants in a group.& nbsp\;
