Become a certified facilitator
Certification prepares educators, health workers, and youth leaders to teach CAPE, HARNESS, or both — with fidelity and in a trauma-informed way.
Certified facilitators get a license to the Educators Hub: session scripts, slides, printables, and interactive tools for their track.
How certification works
Application
Choose your track. CAPE applicants confirm mandated reporter status, background check, and a co-facilitator.
Core training
Work through every session as a participant, then as the person leading it.
Practicum evaluation
Deliver a live segment, scored against a track-specific rubric.
Scenario assessment
Handle realistic room challenges — pushback, disclosures, and questions outside scope.
Certificate
Certified HARNESS Facilitator or Certified CAPE Youth Facilitator, with Green, Blue, or both track endorsements.
