he Compassionate Integrity Training Facilitator Guide is designed as a companion to the
Compassionate Integrity Training Manual and a resource for facilitating CIT with others. To best
understand the material in this Guide and to use it most effectively one should attend CIT
Facilitator Training and become a Certified CIT Facilitator. This Guide contains a sample standard CIT
session agenda, guidelines for facilitating CIT, instructions for the reflective writing and mindful dialogue
exercises, Critical Insight Activities, and contemplative practice scripts. The guidelines and activities in this
Guide were developed and refined over a several year period while first creating and piloting CIT with
dozens of groups in various locations around the world. We look forward to continuing to expand this
Guide as facilitators test new ways for facilitating CIT for diverse populations. Please note, in this Guide we
use the “singular they” (derivative forms: them, their, theirs, and themselves) as a gender-neutral singular
pronoun.
