Main description:

Understanding and practicing daily Living Skills can be crucial to the success of clients making significant life transitions. Hazelden Publishing's Living Skills program is designed to provide the tools necessary to live a healthy, fulfilling life while meeting the needs of today's diverse client population. This program is ideal for a variety of settings, including addiction treatment centers, mental health settings, educational settings, and criminal justice settings.

Education, part of the Practical Guidance topics of Living Skills, helps program participants become re-engaged in learning after potentially negative past experiences with education, and gives them the tools to set positive educational goals for the future.

The information and exercises in the facilitator guides introduce topics to learners who may be unfamiliar with basic Living Skills. The guides are designed to be used in conjunction with the corresponding workbooks and videos in the Living Skills program.

The four sessions of this topic include:

Session 1: Introduction to Learning
Session 2: Deciding to Get an Education
Session 3: Starting Your Education
Session 4: Becoming a Successful Learner
