7 skills for addiction-free living : social skills
"In this training video, addiction psychologist Lorraine Collins describes the fundamental social skills people in recovery need for rewarding relationships with new friends. People entering recovery often find that their entire social groups are still using, and they can no longer rely on the easy bond of the drug to bring them closer to new friends. With a live studio audience in various stages of substance abuse recovery, Collins leads role-plays in starting conversations with strangers, giving and receiving criticism, and asking for help from friends and acquaintances. You will learn to help clients identify tricks to initiating and ending casual conversations in any situation; practice strategies for offering constructive feedback to resolve conflicts; rehearse accepting and considering criticism; and learn how to strengthen new friendships by requesting and reciprocating emotional and practical support. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions."
