TOIVO facilitators training Fall 2026

Hello and thank you for registering to become a TOIVO facilitator! We are excited to grow our community–WELCOME! 


1. What is TOIVO?

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

After this training, you will be able to form your own TOIVO group with a co-facilitator where MITTI and MIELI Without Borders will fund your group activities.

2. TOIVO groups 

  • Groups meet between 8-10 times
  • Every meeting will cover a different well-being theme (i.e. healthy food, physical exercise, sleep, relationships, stress, emotions, etc.)
  • TOIVO groups are closed groups which means once the group is formed, no new members are added to the group.
