AMBIT Local Facilitator Training

About this training

AMBIT is used by teams who work in contexts characterised by complexity, high stress and risk, and who work with people of any age who may have reasons to find it difficult to trust in helping services.

AMBIT consists of principles and practices that apply mentalizing to:

• direct work with clients

• how we function and support one another in teams

• how we integrate and make sense of complex helping networks

• how teams and systems can maintain a culture of learning and adaptation.

AMBIT is used in UK and around the world by teams working in a range of health, social care, justice, education, and community settings.

Becoming an AMBIT Local Facilitator

This is a 5-day intensive training that supports participants to become AMBIT Local Facilitators, so that they can train their own team and/or support other teams within their local system and to support the implementation of the AMBIT approach over time. Co-facilitation is crucial to delivering effective AMBIT training – therefore a minimum of two members of a team or system should attend this training.

Team members attending AMBIT Local Facilitator training may be a more cost-effective and flexible approach to training your team. It also may be a way to support sustainability for teams who have already been trained in AMBIT.

This training does not follow a highly prescriptive ‘Train the Trainer’ approach. Instead, adaptation to context and local need is strongly encouraged. Local facilitators are supported in their training and implementation efforts through a package of follow-up supervision.

Post-training supervision

AMBIT Local Facilitator training is followed by supervision to help local facilitators carry out their training and implementation plans. Each team will be required to purchase a 12 hour supervision package priced at £2,100 (further hours can be arranged if required).

Who is this training for?

The course is suitable for people from a range of different professional backgrounds who work within helping services in health, social care, justice, education, and community settings. A minimum of two members of a team/system should attend. Previous training in AMBIT or other mentalizing approaches is not required.
