Do people have homework outside of the group sessions?
Yes – participants are expected to do 30 to 45 minutes of outside work each week. Here’s why this is important. The objective of the training is to help people start accountable peer-to-peer relationships where they meet on their own during the week. To reinforce this habit, we start doing these outside peer appointments in week 4. That way, by the time the group sessions conclude the peer pairs have already met for a month. If we didn’t start the peer appointments during the training, most of the peer pairs would probably never meet at all. So the “homework” (we call it “action steps”) makes a big difference in the success of the program.
