Inventories, activities and educational handouts to help individuals develop insights and life skills.
Self-esteem is indicative of how people view themselves. Self-esteem refers to those positive, negative, and neutral judgments that a person places on his or her self-concept. It entails an evaluation of a person’s emotional, intellectual, and behavioral aspects.
The relationship between self-esteem and a person’s ability to live up to their full potential is undeniable. Self-esteem is directly related to success in life, at work, in school, and in relationships. People with high self-esteem make effective decisions, accept responsibility for their actions, understand and engage in activities that reflect their values, and have a positive perception of themselves and their bodies.
The Self-Esteem Program contains five separate modules of informal assessments and activities that will help your clients and students learn more about themselves and their self-esteem. These modules serve as an avenue for individuals to engage in self-reflection, as well as in group experiences revolving around topics of importance. This book includes directions for easy assessment administration, scoring, and interpretation. In addition, it contains group activities and educational handouts that can be used as overheads or turned into transparencies to assist facilitators who use the assessments in group sessions or in workshops.
Everything in this book is reproducible and can be photocopied for direct client and student use.
