INTRODUCTION TO LIFE SKILLS
Hello, welcome to the Certificate Course in Life Skills for Social Work. I am delighted to welcome you to Module One – Introduction to Life Skills. Before we begin learning the ten core life skills, it is important to understand what life skills are, why they are important, and how they influence both our personal lives and our professional practice as social workers. Every day, we make decisions, communicate with others, solve problems, manage our emotions, and adapt to new situations. Many of us do these things without thinking. However, these everyday abilities are actually life skills—and developing them can make a significant difference in the way we live and work. By the end of this lesson, you will have a clear understanding of the meaning of life skills, their characteristics, and their importance in social work practice. So, let's begin.
