Supporting Ethical Education for Well-being Facilitators
At Hero Heal Foundation, we empower veterans, first responders, and caregivers by facilitating access to safe, community-informed learning pathways. As integrative and nature-based well-being practices gain recognition, the need for skilled, ethical guides continues to grow.
Our Role: Education, Equity & Access Hero Heal Foundation does not provide training directly, but we focus on:
- Providing educational resources about Oregon’s regulated well-being practitioner pathways.
- Outreach on the importance of ethical, inclusive support practices.
- Offering scholarship support for underserved learners.
- Fostering partnerships with mission-aligned training providers.
Understanding Facilitator Training in Oregon Oregon has established a legal, state-regulated system for certain well-being services, operating under licensed professional supervision. To become a certified guide, individuals must complete an approved training program and apply for licensure.
Training typically includes:
- Trauma-informed approaches to client support
- Preparation and post-session integration techniques
- Ethical and legal frameworks
- Cultural responsiveness and safety practices
Exploring Training Providers One example of a state-approved training provider is AAA Learning Institute, an organization offering a comprehensive pathway for aspiring guides.
Note: AAA Learning Institute is a separate for-profit entity. Hero Heal Foundation does not receive compensation and shares this information solely to expand equitable access to information about training options.
