Skills for Life
Develop yourself and improve your Well-Being
The 'Skills for Life' programme is a series of groups and workshops which are run by the Counseling Service.
We focus on 3 main areas:
- Academic Skills
- Interpersonal and Communication Skills
- Skills that promote Health and Well Being
You can download our Semester 2 Programme and SFL Leaflet here.
All of our groups and workshops are designed to help you develop skills that support you at University. The sessions are run in friendly supportive group environments which offer opportunities to learn new skills with other students who are struggling with the same difficulties as you. Check out what students have said about attending our workshops and groups.
Groups are run over a number of weeks (normally 4 or 5 weeks). The facilitator of the group will offer information/advice and introduce healthy ways of coping with specific problems. Groups offer you the chance to learn and develop over a period of time with peer support. Groups are never larger than 10 people.
Workshops are one-off events that run for 2 and 3 hours. They offer students information that promotes an understanding of their problem. It is an opportunity to learn some new skills and get some tips and advice on how to overcome specific difficulties.
If you are taking part in the Sheffield Graduate Award please see the SFL Graduate Award page to find out about the workshops that are taking place this academic year.
