Why train your own Digital Habits facilitators?

Act fast on local needs

With a certified facilitator on your team, you can run training exactly when it matters — e.g., in fresher's week, or exam and deadline season.

Your own digital focus experts

Your facilitator becomes an ongoing, on-site resource for “Digital First Aid” — helping students and staff build healthier digital habits and positive community norms all year round.

Scale support without increasing headcount

ReDD is designed to be easy to deliver, with automated admin evaluation and research-backed content ready to go.

Who can train as a facilitator?

  • Student services & counselling
  • Librarians
  • IT support teams
  • Academic staff
  • Student peer supporters
  • Or anyone else in your team that you know would be the right person

No technical background required. What matters most is being an effective communicator who connects well with your students and colleagues.

What facilitators & partners say

Digital Habits: Design for Life is one of the most impactful wellbeing interventions I have encountered. As both a participant and facilitator, I have been inspired by the tangible impact it has on the communities universities serve.

Jozef Sen

Head of Counselling Services, University of Leeds

It's important to emphasise how game-changing the Reduce Digital Distraction workshops are: So many students have tried and failed to tackle the digital distraction problem with willpower alone.

Dr. Melissa Barkan

Deputy Head of Counselling, University of Oxford

We've had fabulous feedback! We'd like to offer Digital Habits training sessions to all staff and students at a regular basis.

Dr. Ford Hickson

Associate Professor, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine

Experiencing the workshop as a participant was transformational. The Hub is wonderful and will save me so much time and preparation.

Sep '25 cohort trainee

London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine

The ReDD workshop is one of the most useful webinars I have ever attended in my career! I now find that I can sit and focus on things that tested me before, like report-writing.

Harriet

University of Oxford staff, workshop participant

The course was engaging and well structured (...) Going through a mock workshop (simulating what it would be like as a participant), and practising presenting was vital for my learning.

Nov '24 cohort trainee

University of Edinburgh Counselling Service

Feeling very supported and scaffolded by all the work and research that has been done to develop this, and the excellent booking and material generation in the hub.
