The Socialization program focuses
on personal and social skills with consumer clients participating
in group discussion, activities, and role playing. During group
discussion, consumers learn how to communicate with others,
express and recognize feelings, handle conflicts and exhibit
socially responsible behaviors. Group activities, such as support
groups like Weight Watchers and People First, teach consumers how
to encourage, help and work with others. Role playing gives the
consumer the chance to demonstrate what they have learned in a
controlled environment. This training helps consumers achieve a
positive self awareness and builds self confidence. Consumers
also practice these skills during planned social gatherings and
community outings. The teachers of this class are Liz Johnson and
Dianne Poe.
