Do you ever struggle when faced with some of life's challenges? The truth is none of us are born with all the skills we need. We live in a highly demanding, fast changing, stressful culture and we will all struggle at times. None of us have sufficient broad life experiences preparing us for everything that may come our way.
Using a problem-solving skill building approach, Life Skills is a program that speaks to the concerns of people. Its purpose is to identify problems people may face in living their lives and developing skills they will need to successfully deal with them. Life Skills is designed for individuals who want to improve how they handle normal problems in living and to learn from the challenges they face.
Some of the services provided under Life Skills include the following:
- Adjusting to new communities
- Changing careers
- Conflict management/resolution
- Couples communication skills
- Dealing effectively with aging parents
- Developing healthy coping skills
- Establishing healthy boundaries (personal and professional)
- Healthy eating and living
- Improving self-esteem
- Improving parenting skills
- Improving interpersonal skills
- Marriage enrichment
- Managing time more efficiently (personal and professional)
- Making changes that heal
- Re-establishing the family meal
- Relationships (e.g., learning to make friends)
- Stress management
Because Life Skills uses a wellness model, its goal is to minimize health care costs by preventing emotional, psychological and medical problems from occurring. There are no diagnoses assocaiated with Life Skills, no filing with insurance companies, and full confidentiality and privacy. If you want to live a more enjoyable, satisfying and productive life, contact the Rice - Lewis Clinic for additional information on Life Skills.
