Life skills are problem solving and human relations skills, applied responsibly and appropriately to the management of one's life. This manual was prepared to describe and present modifications to the lessons in a previously published coaching manual to make them appropriate for use in a correctional setting. Specifications for lessons which develop process skills, and which are not found in the coaching manual, are also included. The lessons are divided into sequenced phases: 1) foundation skills; 2) basic problem solving skills; 3) human relations; 4) application of problem solving and human relations skills to problem situations; 5) application of skills to finding a job; and, 6) testing one's life skills and work skills.
