Main description:

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.

Managing Money, one of the Practical Guidance topics of Living Skills, helps clients who may have struggled with money in the past--whether it be because of addiction, mental illness, incarceration, or other difficulties--learn to manage money in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle and establish a foundation for the future.

The four sessions of this program include:

Session 1: Money Basics
Session 2: Budgeting Basics
Session 3: Getting Out of Debt
Session 4: Saving for the Future

This topic includes a facilitator guide with participant handouts, 10 workbooks, and a video divided into four segments that provides more in-depth information and shows the skills in action.
