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.

Refusal Skills, one of the Personal Growth topics of Living Skills, gives clients the tools to establish and maintain strong personal boundaries.

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 are designed to be conducted in a group setting, but could be adapted for individual use.

The four sessions of this program include:

• Session 1: Introduction to Refusal Skills
• Session 2: Boundaries and Assertiveness
• Session 3: Refusal Skills Process
• Session 4: After You Say No
