Life Skills Training

notMYkid is committed to empowering youth with the knowledge, skills, and resilience they need to make healthy choices and thrive in today’s complex world. Botvin LifeSkills Training (LST) program is evidenced-based and has been proven effective in reducing substance use, reducing violence, promoting mental health, and building essential life skills.

Middle School LifeSkills Training: is designed to equip students with a mental health support system and the tools they need to navigate the challenges of adolescence with confidence and resilience. Through interactive lessons and activities, students learn crucial life skills such as decision-making, communication, assertiveness, and coping with stress. By empowering students to make positive choices and resist peer pressure, we help them build a foundation for a healthy and successful future.

High School LifeSkills Training: builds upon the foundational skills learned in middle school and addresses the unique challenges that high school students face. Through engaging curriculum and group discussions through our mental health workshops, students explore topics such as drug and alcohol resistance skills, coping with anxiety and depression, goal setting, and conflict resolution. By providing students with practical strategies for managing challenges and making healthy choices, we empower them to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Life Skills Transitions: is designed to support young adults as they transition from high school to college, the workforce, or independent living. This program focuses on building essential life skills such as time management, financial literacy, healthy relationships, and self-care. By equipping young adults with the skills and knowledge they need to navigate the transition to adulthood successfully, we empower them to achieve their goals and lead fulfilling lives.

Our LifeSkills Training programs are delivered by certified facilitators who create a safe and supportive environment for students to learn and grow. The curriculum is evidence-based and aligned with national health education standards, ensuring that students receive high-quality instruction that meets their needs. Through interactive lessons, role-playing activities, and group discussions, students actively engage with the material and practice applying their skills in real-world scenarios.

The impact of our LifeSkills Training programs extends far beyond the classroom. By empowering youth with a mental health support system, as well as the knowledge and skills they need to make healthy choices and navigate life’s challenges, we help them build a foundation for a lifetime of success and well-being.
