Before beginning work with an independent facilitator, OIFN encourages people, along with their loved ones (family members, friends, support circles, other people you trust), to take some time to learn about the facilitator and decide if you think that the facilitator will be a good fit.

OIFN offers these sample questions to assist you to decide if a facilitator has the experience, values, and qualities that are important to you.

When first meeting with a facilitator, you may consider asking some or all of the questions, in order to learn if the facilitator meets your needs before beginning the relationship and getting started on the work.

When beginning the search for a visit, you may also want to review the Getting Started – Things to Consider page.
