Positive Lifestyle Program
The Positive Lifestyle Program (PLP) is an eight-module course used by hundreds of Salvation Army chaplains, counsellors and volunteer facilitators throughout Australia.
The PLP methodology takes participants through a self-awareness-raising process, focusing on personal difficulties they may be unable to identify or address. PLP looks to address discontentment, fear, anger and fatigue, which are some of the harmful consequences people experience when relationships and communication processes break down irreparably.
In a non-invasive, non-judgmental way, PLP encourages participants to consider the following eight aspects of their lives: self-awareness, anger, depression & loneliness, stress, grief and loss, problem solving, assertiveness, self-esteem, and future directions.
If you are interested in PLP or are looking for more information, please use the Contact Us form below.
