Drawing on literature from the fi elds of group dynamics and confl ict resolution, this article provides direction and guidelines for prison group facilitators.We start by describing the institutional prison context, the multiple forms of violence in the Canadian prison system and the trauma of those who occupy it.Next, we examine the ways that groups are facilitated in the prison system, contrasting the colonial and cultural safety approaches, and highlighting our experiences in circle with the Walls to Bridges program.We explore the role of social identity in groups and consider mechanisms to build group cohesion.Ultimately, we off er potential facilitators tools and knowledge so that together we can work toward healing and transformation
