Households

We all experience the ups and downs of life, and if we can be more educated on the downs, learning why they come about and how to resolve them, then much of the life we experience will be in the ups.

We go to school for years to learn the basics of reading, writing and math. We branch out during high school and college and get to choose classes that are enjoyable and support our interests and hobbies, or support getting a degree for a desirable career. However, when you step out into the real world, you find that the reality of the world is made up of much more than you learned in school.

You begin to experience that life is made up of:
relationships - leadership - self control - maturity - change - responsibility - accountability -
love - priorities - decisions - loss

We are all products of our environment. Growing up we have been taught and have mimicked others behaviors and thinking patterns, and have made these ways our ways of experiencing ourselves and the world we live in. Some of us had healthy, nurturing experiences, and others did not. There may be things we never learned or were never taught. There may be gaps of uncertainty and confusion, missing life puzzle pieces that you just can't find. Perhaps you have developed a new way of thinking that conflicts with your old beliefs and are struggling in how to make a shift.

Life Skills U is a continuing education University with a mission for educating people of all ages and backgrounds on the basis of foundational Life Skills. As a natural part of living, we have all struggled in areas in our lives, such as making relationships work, experiences of anger and depression or keeping a job. These are real people problems, and we need to be educated on how to do this thing called life, just as much as we need to advance academically.

Life Skills U is not therapy or counseling, and is not based on the Psychiatric model. Instead, Life Skills U is a place for people to continue their education about life, based on principles and philosophies that have been around for centuries. It is an alternative to traditional methods of self-help, growth and recovery, enabling individuals to have a balance of the academic education and life skills education needed to have happy, peaceful and fulfilling lives.
