Main description:

Revised and Expanded! Hazelden Publishing's classic Living Skills program has been totally redesigned, revised, and expanded to better meet the needs of today's diverse client populations.

Understanding and practicing the skills needed for daily living are tremendously important, especially in today's economic climate. Living Skills is divided into two unique components: Personal Growth and Practical Guidance.

Personal Growth covers the internal skills needed to be a positive member of a community. Topics include:

Making decisions
Refusal skills
Interpersonal skills
Values and responsibilities
Setting and attaining goals
Parenting and child development

Practical Guidance provides information on the day-to-day external skills needed to live a healthy life. Topics include:

Hygiene and self-care
Sexual health
Looking for work
Education
Managing money
Securing housing

Both Personal Growth and Practical Guidance are provided on a CD-ROM and two DVDs. Each topic includes a four-session facilitator guide, reproducible client handouts and workbook. Videos show each skill in action.

Ideal for treatment, mental health, criminal justice and a wide variety of other settings, this program provides all the tools necessary to help clients live healthy, fulfilling lives.
