About BreakWay
At BreakWay, our support group programs are designed to help families overcome the waves that crash through life’s journeys. Finding support
is the first step in discovering a redemptive perspective about life’s experiences. Our program provides program coordinators and group facilitators with the essential tools needed to equip participants in embracing the journey to recovery. BreakWay currently offers two programs that are designed to equip churches and counseling centers with the materials needed to start a support group for children ages 5-18.

Children ages 5- 18 and their guardians. Adults can choose to participate in the adult support group or use their time waiting for a child as they see fit, but a child is never unaccompanied at a BreakWay Program.

You need one program coordinator and eight group facilitators (two for each of the four age groups – littles, middles, teens, adults). Your facilitators do not have to be licensed counselors or mental health providers. We do recommend that your program coordinator be a licensed mental health professional or have previous experience offering support programs, if possible. All of your facilitators must go through a training seminar. All of the material for this training is provided as part of the BreakWay curriculum program.
