Essential Life Skills for Healthy Relationships: Workshop Descriptions
Effective Communication: The average person communicates ineffectively. This workshop will help us to understand what another person’s message is and to convey your message in a clear way.
Personal Boundaries/Assertiveness: Boundaries bring order to our lives. They teach people how we want to be treated. They keep people from coming into our spaces or us from going into their space. Following that, a person using assertiveness skills is better able to manage and minimize their anxieties in stressful situations. It also enhances their self-esteem and self-confidence.
Conflict Resolution: This workshop covers negative and positive views of conflict, conflict style, and offers constructive ways to handle conflict.
Healthy Self-Esteem & Self-Exploration: Self-Esteem relates to having a positive sense of your inherent worth as a person. It is made up of learned feelings and positive thoughts that reflect a positive attitude versus a pessimistic attitude. Healthy self-esteem is self-confidence, self-worth, and self-respect. It affects everything you do.
Exploring Anger: Anger is what happens when we perceive an event as threatening or when we experience frustration over unmet needs. It is usually preceded by feelings of fear, loss, hurt, or sadness.
Exploring Stress: Stress affects us physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. It is natural and useful and is a necessity for life and survival. However, unmanaged stress can cause illness. How we respond to stressors highly influence the impact the stress will have in our lives.
Exploring Grief & Loss: In this workshop, we explore the common causes and symptoms of grief, harmful myths and clichés, stages of grief, needs of mourning, ways of coping, and exercises for grief work.
Exploring Anxiety & Depression: In this workshop, we explore depression and anxiety, focusing on the difference between stress and anxiety, and depression and grief/sadness. We also focus on ways to manage anxiety/depression.
Creating Personal Change: This workshop covers positive aspects of creating change, self-defeating thoughts and language, knowing what is in our control, discovering our passions and values, and keys to successful goal setting.
