Conflict is a basic fact of life. Because conflicts are disagreements resulting from people or groups having differences in attitudes, beliefs, values, or needs, conflict is inevitable. Conflict itself is not a bad thing, as long as the conflict is managed effectively. The self-assessments, exercises, and journaling activities in this book will take participants through a unique negotiations model. This model helps participants learn about their beliefs surrounding conflict, identify their preferred style for managing conflict, examine active listening skills, identify the situations that trigger conflict, and recognize their negotiation style for what they want and need. Divided into five sections, participants look at: beliefs about conflict, conflict management styles, listening for meaning, hot buttons, and negotiation style. Each section serves as an avenue for individual self-reflection, as well as for group experiences revolving around identified topics of importance. Each assessment includes directions for easy administration, scoring, and interpretation. Also included are exploratory activities, reflective journaling activities, and educational handouts to help participants discover their habitual effective and ineffective conflict management skills. Finally, instruction is provided for enhancing participants most critical weaknesses when attempting to prevent or resolve real-life conflicts.

Anxiety is becoming increasingly prevalent in our modern society. Research indicates that the number of people suffering from anxiety disorders continues to increase. Many trends and forces are at work to contribute to feelings of fear and anxiety in people. Fear and anxiety are experiences that are familiar to us all, but for many people anxiety becomes a serious problem. The Coping with Anxiety Workbook contains assessments and guided self-exploration activities, including an anxiety scale, that can be used with a variety of populations to help participants cope more effectively with various forms of anxiety. Each chapter begins with an annotated table of contents with notes and examples for the facilitator. Each chapter contains two primary elements: 1. A set of assessments, including an anxiety scale, to help participants gather information about themselves in a focused situation, and 2. A set of guided self-exploration activities to help participants process information and learn more effective ways of behaving to cope with anxiety in their lives. The activities are divided into four chapters to help you identify and select assessments easily and quickly. Chapter 1: Anxiety Triggers helps participants identify and learn to recognize their anxiety triggers. Chapter 2: Fear Factor helps participants identify and explore the intensity of their fears. Chapter 3: Anxiety Symptoms helps participants identify and explore how they experience symptoms of anxiety. Chapter 4: Coping with Anxiety helps participants understand how effectively they are preventing and coping with anxiety in life.

In today’s economy, almost everyone feels workplace stress. While a little stress is to be expected, even though motivating, too much stress can interfere with both productivity and motivation, and can impact employee (and employer) mental, emotional and physical health. Even the perfect job has stressful deadlines and other seemingly unreasonable expectations.People experience stress in the workplace in three primary ways: 1) Stress generated from within a person; 2) Stress generated from the work environment; and 3) Stress from a poor job fit. When these sources of stress are ignored, they can lead to accidents in the workplace, injuries, and even more stress. Stress from one of these sources can be difficult to overcome, but stress from more than one of these sources can be debilitating. In order to deal with all of the various types of stress in the workplace, it will help to understand workplace stress and acquire tools and techniques for managing it. The Coping with Stress in the Workplace Workbook provides assessments and self-guided activities to help participants learn useful skills for coping with the various forms of stress in the workplace.The four chapters include:Workplace Sources of Stress, Stress-Prone Personality, Work Habits, Workplace Relationships

Intellectual well-being is important to a sense of overall wellness. The intellectual dimension of wellness, although often overlooked and undervalued, is extremely important in coping with stress and living a fulfilling life. Intellectual well-being can be difficult to describe, but it is essentially related to how interested your clients are in learning new skills, expanding their knowledge, thinking critically, seeking out new and interesting challenges, maintaining a sense of creativity and curiosity, searching for lifelong learning opportunities and stimulating mental activities, and being open to new ideas. If your clients are not exhibiting these characteristics, they may need to develop more effective intellectual wellness habits. When clients begin developing intellectual well-being habits, they begin to exhibit greater participation in creative, scholastic, cultural and community-based activities. The Intellectual Well-Being Workbook is designed to help your clients enhance existing intellectual wellness traits and develop new attitudes that will improve their intellectual health.Living an intellectually healthy existence sounds easy, but is often very difficult to accomplish in everyday life. Many people experience stress in their lives when they are faced with new situations, exposed to people who are different from themselves and frightened by new ideas and novel ways to approach situations in their lives. Intellectually well people find that they are able to approach new ideas and situations with enthusiasm and are not restricted to only that which has been done before. They are creative and always looking for ways to improve themselves and their future. They are curious and approach life with passionate desire to understand and embrace opportunities to learn new things. They will have the tools and techniques to cope with difficult life situations through being open-minded, able to pick up on new ideas, and interested in improving themselves. The Intellectual Well-Being Workbook is designed to help your clients understand how the many ways intellectual well-being can reduce stress and enhance their overall life satisfaction.The seven sections include:Open to New Ideas Lifelong Learning Thinking Skills Creative Thinking Critical Thinking Mental Sharpness Independent Thinking

With your facilitation, your participants will complete the assessments, activities and exercises in this workbook, and will develop and enhance a full spectrum of social skills.Social health has become increasingly more important within the overall concept of human health and wellness.

An inability to form and maintain relationships can be detrimental to a person’s health and well-being. Socially healthy people are able to relate well to others, genuinely care for all people regardless of their cultural characteristics, and willingly reach out to other people. They are contributing members of their community and are a part of the social networks of others.The Social Well-Being Workbook is designed to help your clients understand how social well-being can build personal and professional success, reduce stress and enhance overall life satisfaction. The seven sections of the workbook include: Section 1 – Relationships This section will help participants explore and understand their current relationships with people in the community, partners, family members, co-workers and friends.

Thought-provoking, user-friendly activity handouts will allow them to examine how they value diversity in professional and personal relationships.Section 3 –Intimacy This section will help participants gauge how they are demonstrating physical, intellectual and emotional intimacy in their relationships. Thought-provoking, user-friendly activity handouts will help participants to further develop intimacy skills to deepen existing and future relationships.Section 4 – Interactions This section will help participants explore their interactions with other people.

Thought-provoking, user-friendly activity handouts will promote a healthy balance to meet all relationship needs.Section 6 – Caring This section will help participants explore how they care about others and the ways they show this caring. Thought-provoking, user-friendly activity handouts promote altruism and caring about other people and societal needs.Section 7 – Support This section helps participants explore their support systems. Thought-provoking, user-friendly activity handouts are provided to develop and use a healthy social support system with others.

Life is about making choices. Today’s teens live in a far more challenging atmosphere than past generations and they face many important choices that both positively and negatively affect their growth and development. Their success in life is a result of the choices they make as they mature and that those that they will make in the future. During adolescence, making effective independent choices is often a point of contention between teens and adults (parents, teachers, grandparents, etc.). As teens mature, they face increasing demands to learn to make choices more independently and to take more responsibility for their own choices. Choices allow teens to change how they are currently living their lives (if they are not happy where they are) or continue to live responsibly by making even more effective choices. Teen Choices Workbook contains five separate sections to help participants learn more about choices they have made and choices they have yet to make in their lives. Teen Action Choices helps teens analyze the factors that primarily influence the decisions they make and define how effectively they are using their time. Teen Relationships Choices helps teens examine how they make choices about acquaintances, friends, best friends, and dating friends. Teen Cultural Differences helps teens explore how accepting and receptive they are to people who are different from themselves. Teen 'Not-So-Great' Choices helps teens reconsider the choices they made in the past that were not successful and outline more effective decision-making techniques. Teen Risk-Taking Behavior helps teens investigate both the positive and the negative risks they have taken and discover ways to choose healthy risks. The Teen Choices Workbook is designed to be used either independently or as part of an integrated curriculum. Assessments and journaling exercise may be used effectively with either individuals or with a group. The following tools are included in each section: assessment instruments, activity handouts, quotations, reflective questions for journaling, and educational handouts.

At some time or another, most families experience changes, then experience stress resulting from the changes, and then go into crisis-mode. However, not all families have a crisis as a result of the stress from change. Resilient families are able to rebound from adversity, to flex in response to the pressures and strains of everyday family life, to become stronger after the change, and to adapt with more resources at their disposal. Resiliency refers to the coping strengths of the individual members, and the combined coping strengths of the family as a whole. Families who exhibit resiliency are flexible when dealing with stress, have coping strengths that can be called upon when experiencing a stressor, and have the ability to reorganize in the face of stress to become stronger and better.In order to maintain an effective and useful family unit, family members must develop skills for managing change, coping with stress, and building resiliency from external and internal stressors. The Family Change & Crisis Workbook provides assessments and self-guided activities to help family members explore old patterns of interaction and behavior that are no longer effective, and to identify ways to develop more effective interactions and behaviors. Many choices of self-exploration assessments and activities are provided for family members to use collaboratively with other family members to develop a healthy family unit.The Family Change & Crisis Workbook is designed to be used either independently or as part of an integrated curriculum. You may administer any of the assessments and the guided self-exploration activities to an individual or multiple family members with whom you are working, or you may administer any of the activities over multiple sessions. Feel free to pick and choose those assessments and activities that best lead to the outcomes you desire. The assessments and activities are divided into four chapters to help you identify and select assessments easily and quickly.Chapter I: Family Changes This chapter helps family members explore the types and intensity of the stressful changes the family is currently going through.Chapter II: Family Stress This chapter helps family members explore how well they are managing their current family stress and explore ways to cope more effectively with change and stress.Chapter III: Family Crisis This chapter helps family members explore how difficult a change can be on some or all family members and ways to manage and cope with issues and crises.Chapter IV: Family Resilience This chapter helps family members explore ways that the family can come together and build resilience as a family after stressful changes and crises.

Resiliency has been defined as the ability to: manage life’s challenges, stresses, changes, and pressures effectively, cope and adapt successfully to adversity, and bounce back to a balanced state after facing a major disruption in life or career. People have an innate ability to demonstrate resiliency when they have resiliency skills built into their lives. Resilient people are able to adapt successfully under adverse circumstances such as: poverty, mental illness, disasters, terrorism, physical or psychological trauma, divorce, job loss, prison, loss of a loved one, parent’s divorce, prolonged stress, physical or sexual abuse, or a lack of safety. Resiliency, or a positive behavioral adaptation, is critical when people encounter any type of trauma. The Building Resiliency Workbook contains five separate sections, each with its own unique resilience scale, to help participants learn more about themselves and how to build resiliency which will enable them to thrive in times of adversity, change and stress. Optimistic outlook helps participants identify how optimistically they view and live life. Locus of control helps participants explore the extent to which they believe they have control over what happens in their lives. Sense of self helps participants explore the strength of their self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-concept. Ability to bounce back helps participants increase their ability to bounce back and recover from a setback. Change management helps participants become aware of how well they deal with change, and develop skills necessary to accept change. Effective use of journaling, exploratory activities and a resilience scale. These sections serve as avenues for individual self-reflection, as well as participating in group experiences revolving around identified topics of importance. Each resilience scale includes directions for easy administration, scoring, and interpretation. Each section includes exploratory activities, reflective journaling activities, and educational handouts to help participants discover their level of resiliency and provides reflective exercises and instruction to build personal and professional resiliency.

Difficult people are everywhere. Difficult people are those who frustrate us to no end. (In fact, others may view each of us as a difficult person.) We encounter difficult people at home, in the workplace, school, grocery market, anywhere. Often how much they affect us depends on our self-esteem, ability to recognize “hot buttons” and effectiveness of communication skills. Because participants will encounter difficult people in all aspects of their lives, it is important for them to learn a way of dealing with them. In this book, Coping with Difficult People Workbook, we teach a specific model that participants can use to build positive relationships with difficult people. The Coping with Difficult People Workbook contains assessments and guided self-exploration activities that can be used with a variety of populations to help participants learn to cope more effectively with difficult people. Each chapter of this workbook begins with an annotated table of contents with notes and examples for the facilitator. Each chapter contains two primary elements: 1) A set of assessments to help participants gather information about themselves in a focused situation, and, 2) a set of guided self-exploration activities to help participants process information and learn effective ways of coping with the difficult people they encounter. Activities are divided into four chapters to help you identify and select assessments easily and quickly.
