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 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 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 four sessions of this topic include:

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