People from all walks of life struggle with life skills or what are commonly called “soft skills.” They are the skills that aren’t formally taught in school and are easily overlooked by busy parents or during a tumultuous childhood. However, life skills are essential in the workplace and in building social relationships. People exiting addiction programs may have the added challenge of not being prepared to face social situations without the aid of a substance, or they may lack an understanding of employment-specific nuances required to pursue the job they want.
The good news is that these skills can be developed through a life skills training program for adults, and Arkview Recovery can help. We’ll teach you the skills you need to be successful in the workplace and beyond. We can’t wait to watch you grow. Call 717.744.0756 to hear more about our addiction treatment program in Pennsylvania.
