Group settings provide peer support and encouragement as well as often being a cost-effective way to deliver interventions. We have adapted FIT for group delivery through our weight loss research, collaboration with Devon Mind, and through designing workplace resilience interventions. We typically use group FIT when working with sport teams and business organisations. This course provides training in group FIT and bespoke materials for your clients. You need to have completed Communication Skills and Foundations of FIT first.
