The Botvin LifeSkills Training WorkPlace Program is a dynamic employee-training program designed to help companies reduce employee health-risk behaviors that impact productivity and profitability. The program empowers employees to successfully balance their work and personal lives by developing skills in seven essential areas: goal setting, problem-solving, stress and anger management, effective communication and conflict resolution,time and financial management, healthy behavior, and workplace safety. Participants learn behavioral, social and cognitive coping strategies while building key skills for work and life.
The Botvin LifeSkills Training WorkPlaceProgram is based on the highly effective and top-rated evidence-based LifeSkills Training approach developed by Dr. Gilbert J. Botvin. This highly successful approach has been extensively tested and proven effective through more than 25 years of peer-reviewed research and 30 federally funded scientific studies. The LifeSkills Training approach has been cited for excellence by numerous organizations, including the National Institute on Drug Abuse, The White House Office on Drug Policy, the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, and many more. Studies testing its effectiveness have found that the Botvin LifeSkills Training approach can reduce the prevalence of tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drug use. |
