The life skills education programs are available for across the age span (children, adolescents and adults).
- Anger Control Training (ACT)
There are many reasons why people
become angry and loose control. The ACT program will help you evaluate
and change your thoughts, feelings and
behavior. You will have an
opportunity to learn how your thoughts, feelings and behavior are
related to out-of-control anger. And, you will equip
yourself to have anger awareness,
develop coping skills and make
lifestyle changes which will improve your day to day interactions with
others. You
will also receive assertiviness
training and communication, and self-esteem building to further develop
and improve interpersonal relating.
- Assertiveness Training and Communications
Assertiveness is
typically considered the ideal way to express ourselves, though so many
of us have difficulty doing so. Individuals should be able to
stand up for
themselves (to emprower themselves). When we practice handling
interactions assertively, we can make our lives more manageable and
rewarding, for
both ourselves and those close to us.
Assertiveness
training is a type of behavior therapy in which individuals are taught
appropriate methods of asserting themselves in various situations
through honest and direct expression of
their
feelings. This training will improve confidence, reduce shyness,
enhance interpersonal communication,
and
develop
social skills. With positive thinking, you will become more outgoing,
enhance
intimacy, reduce fears, manage anger, resolve conflict and feel
overall better about self. You will be able to
transform your life by
putting positive things in your life.
Self-esteem, self
confidence, self-image determines our view of self-worth and happiness.
Persons who have a low self-esteem tend to have symptoms
of depression, anxiety, eating disorders,
addictions,
problems with relationships and poor communication. Additionally,
research indicates that people
who have anger
control problems tend to have low self-esteem.
One can have a
high self-esteem in one area of their life but can present low
confidence in another life area or they can have low self-esteem in all
life
areas. People who believe in themselves are less
concerned with seeking the approval of others and are more likely to be
themselves and feel happy.
It is important for
individuals to break the cycle of low self-seteem.
This program
is based on a combination of motivational perspectives and cognitive
behavioral principles. A life and career coaching approach can help
to realize your goals as long as you are willing to
set the wheels in motion. You will have an opportunity to gain feedback
on time management, reduce
stress, goal setting and career
management.
Using time
effectively involves making choices that produce positive results,
increase good feelings and reduce the potential for stress. We all have
24
hours in a day, some people try to add more in the
day than what can be done. Time management is important as it shapes
our lives. Over using or
under using time
causes frustration and stress. When time is misused you feel rushed,
overwhelmed, miss deadlines and appointments, feel physically
and mentally exhausted and, have feelings of
unproductivity. And, procrastination is under-functioning and has
elements of underlying anger.
Additionally, one can
end up neglecting personal time needed for rest and relaxation, along
with relationship problems. This training will help you
develop
time management skills, overcome procrastination, learn how to
prioritize and not take on more than you can get done, eliminate time
wasters, and
learn how to engage others to help

wear and tear caused by life. We cannot avoid stress but, we can learn
a great deal about how to keep it's damaging side effects and
distress to a minimum". Stress
management training will reduce the damaging effects of stress on you
mental and physical health. You will be aware of
the distress
signals, identify personal stressors and learn relaxation and breathing
techniques.

matters over the phone and internet. Payment
