Fulfill their daily needs;
Enlarge their circle of friends.

Skills Taught in the Module

Read verbal and nonverbal behaviors that indicate when it is and isn't okay to start a friendly conversation

Components

Special Considerations

The Module is NOT designed to teach participants how to cope with interactions that are:

Highly emotional such as those that might occur among distraught family members.
Focus on solving a specific problem such as a missing benefits check, getting a raise in pay, etc.

(These are the focus of the learning activity, Outcome Problem Solving, used in all skills in all modules). The learning activity, Resource Management Problem Solving, is not conducted during the first skill, and its focus for the remaining skills is on identifying conversational topics (topics are resources for conversations.)
