Living Skills Facilitator Guide

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.

Sexual Health, one of the Practical Guidance topic of Living Skills, helps clients navigate both the physical and emotional components of sexuality in order to promote positive sexual health.

The information and exercises in the Living Skills facilitator guides introduce topics to learners who may be unfamiliar with basic Living Skills. The exercises help learners begin to apply the concepts to their lives. The guides are designed to be used in conjunction with the corresponding workbooks and videos in the Living Skills program. The read-aloud sections, role-plays, and other exercises with group discussions found in these guides are designed to be conducted in a group setting, but could be adapted for individual use.

The four sessions of this topics include:

• Session 1: Introduction to Sexual-Health
• Session 2: Taking Care of Your Sexual Health
• Session 3: Addressing Common Sexual Concerns
• Session 4: Establishing Healthy Sexual Relationships
