Researches say that out of every three cases of suicide reported every 15 minutes in India, one is committed by a Teenager

BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS


About one-fifth of India’s population is in the adolescent age group of 10–19 years. However, despite adolescents being a huge segment of the population, policies and programs in India have focused very little effort on the adolescent group.

Unfortunately, the special needs of adolescents are rarely addressed by the educational, health, and family welfare programs in India.


With numerous changes in culture and lifestyle, many young people are not sufficiently

equipped with life skills to help them deal with the increased demands and pressures they experience.


?WHAT ARE LIFE SKILLS


Life Skills are abilities for adaptive and positive behaviour that enable individuals toDeal Effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life.

Life skills enable individuals to translate knowledge,

attitudes and values into

actual abilities – i.e. "what to do and how to do it".


Life skills are Abilities that enable individuals to behave in healthy ways, given the desire to do so and given the scope and opportunity to do so.


There are research indications that teaching skills in this way, as part of broad-based life skills programmes, is an effective approach for primary prevention education(Errecart et al., 1991; Perry and Kelder, 1992; Caplan et al., 1992).

Personality Development:

PROGRAM COMPONENTS

This component of the life skills program focuses on two main skills namely cognitive skills and social skills. Cognitive skills are skills related to thinking and social skills are skills related to dealing with others. While thinking skills relate to reflection at a personal level, social skills include interpersonal skills and do not necessarily depend on logical thinking.


Value Education

PROGRAM COMPONENTS

Values are those principles or standards, which help to better the quality of life. Values codify the dos and don'ts of behaviour. They form the basis of character formation and personality development. Adolescence, being the time when a person forms independent ideologies and abstract thoughts, becomes the most crucial phase for instilling value based education.


Health & Safety

PROGRAM COMPONENTS

With life becoming more and more fast paced and challenging, the occurrence of accidents and illness are also increasing. In this kind of a scenario it becomes very important to provide the right health and safety information to young people.
