In your role as a facilitator and Prevention Specialist, you would NOT:

  1. Select the prevention program approach for them.

  2. Assure a neutral position is a heated discussion.

  3. Make eye contact, as this is disrespectful.

  4. Summarize points, as this is boring.

The correct answer is: Select the prevention program approach for them.

In your role as a facilitator and Prevention Specialist, it’s crucial to empower participants and allow them to take ownership of the decision-making process. Selecting the prevention program approach for them would undermine their autonomy and involvement. Effective facilitation involves guiding discussions, helping groups explore options, and supporting them in making informed choices rather than making unilateral decisions on their behalf. Ensuring a neutral position during heated discussions is important for maintaining a safe environment where all voices can be heard. Making eye contact is a sign of engagement and respect, fostering a positive interaction, while summarizing points can enhance understanding and clarity, rather than being considered boring. These practices contribute to effective communication and participant involvement in the discussion.
