G.O.A.L.S.
Guidance Offering Accountable Life Skills |
The
G.O.A.L.S. program is implemented over a specific time frame, determined
by the individual factors of the participating group. As it states
in its title, the primary function of this program is to develop accountable
life skills. The participant’s physical, emotional and spiritual needs
are addressed. This is achieved through various methods of facilitation,
including educational, self-exploration, experiential and role-play.
Participants learn the importance of setting goals, how to set appropriate
goals and steps involved in accomplishing each goal. Emphasis is given
to Short-term and Long-term goals.
The purpose of the class is to
guide each student to see their selves more clearly, identify where
they are at the present time and what they want in life. This sets
the stage for taking an honest inventory of their selves, recognizing
the need for change and learning how to engage in the process of change.
The G.O.A.L.S. program helps a person to take control of their lives
and become an active participant in their own destiny. It promotes
personal accountability, discouraging blaming attitudes and victimization
roles and empowers each individual to succeed in their personal life.
Benefits of the G.O.A.L.S. program are accurate self appraisal, increased
individual motivation, identifying personal strengths and weaknesses,
develop a clearer sense of values, builds character, improves critical
thinking skills, promotes self reflection, teaches flexibility and
encourages follow through. Most importantly it helps an individual
to take full responsibility for their own actions, inspiring them
to make good life choices and aspire to be better people. Relationship
skills are enhanced and as a person’s esteem rises, their ability
to view their selves in relation to the world around them also improves. |
