NAA Debrief Guidance

Debriefing is an important part of everything we do because, in order to get the wins that we need and to build the caring community that those wins must be based on, we need to always be listening to feedback and improving. Some of the most valuable feedback can come from our own reflections. 

When planning a debrief, we recommend that:

• You include everyone involved in the planning team. If not everyone can join synchronously, giving them the chance to debrief separately or asynchronously by adding to the notes can be incredibly valuable.
• You schedule the debrief before your action. Scheduling is hard and planning for a debrief in advance will help alleviate a step that can really get in the way of reflection in a moment where everyone is tired from the action. 

If any of your reflections are feedback are for Never Again Action as a national structure or any of our national partner organizations as a whole, please write to shayna@neveragainaction.com

Attached, find a sample agenda for your debrief. Feel free to modify it to fit your specific action.
