Topic Presentation Outlines. Parent's Toolshop Group Facilitators are often asked to custom-design programs to meet a particular audience need or specific topic. Why reinvent presentations other Group Facilitators have already developed? Each packet includes a presentation outline, suggestions for interactive activities or visual aids to use, and reproducible handouts. As Group Facilitators submit new topic packets the list of available topics will expand. (If you are a Group Facilitator who has developed a topic program, share it with other Group Facilitators!) *Due to the ease of reproducing the topic packets, they are non-refundable.*

Why these products are only available to Parents Toolshop Group Facilitators:
Some of these "Group Facilitator Only" resources refer to specific content in The Parents Toolshop book that only certified Parents Toolshop® Group Facilitators have been trained and authorized to teach. Some resources include registered trademark brand names which only certified Parents Toolshop® Group Facilitators are authorized to use. The topic packets consist of an outline with handouts and interactive activities they can do with the group, but the outlines reference teachings and resources only our instructors have received. Without these teachings spelled-out, the outlines aren't user-friendly. We aren't trying to be secretive or exclusive, we just haven't rewritten all the products to be "generic" for any parent educator. We provide these resources to help our instructors avoid reinventing a few wheels. Unless we were to rewrite all of them, we just wouldn't feel right charging a fee or delivering a product that wasn't easy for others to use.
