Understanding and practising the skills needed for daily living are tremendously important, especially in today's economic climate, so Hazelden Publishing have updated their classic Living Skills program – it has been totally redesigned, revised, and expanded to better meet the needs of today's diverse client populations. 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.
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.
