Independent Living Skills Preparing Adolescents for Young Adulthood (PAYA)1

Personal Health, Social and Safety Skills

This module contains many tips and exercises you can use to maintain and improve your health, social and safety skills. It was created by the Massachusetts Department of Social Services. Some of the information is directed toward Massachusetts instead of Washington State. Because the PAYA curriculum is proprietary information we are not able to customize it for Washington State. Please refer to Module 7 for information and phone numbers for services available in Washington State.

Module 2 specifically has exercises and information for the following topics:

? Personal care-smoking, alcohol and drug use and sexuality;

? Social skills-personal goals, decision making, problem solving and conflict resolution;

? Safety skills-preventing burns, poisoning, drowning and violence in relationships.

The Directory of Certified Chemical Dependency Services in Washington State can be accessed at the following website: . Phone numbers are in Module 7.

Local information for Planned Parenthood can be located in Module 7 and at the following website:
