Teen Respect of Self & Others Workbook: Facilitator Reproducible Self-Assessments, Exercises & Educational Handouts (Teen Mental Health & Life Skills Workbook)

Reproducible Assessments, Exercises & Educational HandoutsWritten for practitioners working with individuals and groups.

Respect comes in two forms - respect for self and respect for others. Although they may not appear to be connected, theses two forms of respect are interconnected in several ways: For people to show respect to other people, animals, nature, their community, the environment, and the universe, they must have a deep respect for themselves. Without this respect for self, it becomes difficult to empathize with the plight of others. Secondly, people are constantly attempting to balance their self-interests and the interests of others. And finally, a basic human value that individuals strive for is social interest, or the concern and respect for other people in the world and helping to build a better future for others. By being concerned about others, people can begin to experience a greater sense of generosity, contribute to the well-being of others, and find joy in their sense of social interest. This social interest then propels people to be more respectful in the workplace, kinder to the universe, and more apt to be interested in social justice. Whether service to the community (or world) is found through formal organizations or through informal involvement in social issues, people then find their own place in the world. The Teen Respect Workbook contains five separate sections to help participants learn more about themselves and the skills that they possess (and those they need to learn) in order to be of service to other people and make a contribution to the welfare of others. They will learn about the importance of these skills in developing personal and professional success. The following five sections of the book contain self-assessments, journaling activities, & educational handouts: Being Respectful of Myself; Being Respectful to Others; Being Generous; Being Kind to the Universe and Being a Social Activist. All of the self-assessments, activities and handouts are fully reproducible to use with your clients/participants.
