We deliver specialist training for schools & services wishing to train multiple staff in the R2R model.
We tailor these events to the specific needs of your team and with a strong focus on ensuring confidence in delivery. These private trainings are very economical, and well below the per person cost of an open scheduled event. The fee is around 50% of sending 20 people to a publicly listed workshop open to all. Publicly available workshops are listed here https://rhythm2recovery.com/r2r-training-courses/

Interested services pay a one-off fee, plus travel and accommodation for the facilitator.

Privately commissioned events can be adapted to meet the needs of the school or service – e.g. Aboriginal/Indigenous focused, Drug & Alcohol focused, Mental Health focused etc.
These events cater for 20 people but may be extended for additional per person fee to 25 persons maximum.
The service must also provide:
- Travel costs for the facilitator
- A suitable venue with IT display
- A hand drum for each participant & facilitator – preferably 12” Djembe (we can assist with this if required)

Services with less than 20 staff may reduce their costs by selling places to other services/schools within an existing network. However, these listings cannot be advertised openly, to the general public.
