WHY IS THERE A NEED FOR LIFE SKILLS?
The basic premise of Life Skills is that we were all created to receive certain things in childhood as we developed and NOT receive some things. If we didn't get what we needed, or were abused, we become arrested in our development. This disables us from growing into the adults we were created to be. Life Skills helps us identify when we were arrested and provides the tools to "grow-up" those areas of our lives. This results in positive changes in anger management, conflict resolution, emotional bonding and healthy assertiveness.
