Become a TOIVO Facilitator

What is TOIVO?

TOIVO group model was developed with the thought of “act-feel-apprehend”. This means that TOIVO groups plan activities (act) related to well-being and discuss how the activities impact their lives and mental well-being (feel & apprehend). TOIVO groups are designed to enable individuals to make small changes in their daily lives that would affect their mental health and well-being positively. 

TOIVO Groups

Groups meet between 8-10 times and each meeting follows a similar structure like below:

1. Create safer space rules, expectations of the group, and logistics
2. Mapping self well-being
3. Rest & sleep
4. Physical wellbeing – what does your body tell you
5. Nature & peaceful mind
6. Food for mind(healthy and nutritious diet)
7. Exercising and good vibes
8. Coping with stress & relaxing
9. Art and creativity to nurture the mind
10. Last meeting

Each meeting covers a different theme related to well-being and mental health.
