What is the theory behind this Social Skills Training for Schizophrenia Worksheet?
Social skills training is based on behavioural techniques that help people with schizophrenia and other mental illnesses to learn crucial skills that can help them manage their symptoms and regain some level of normalcy in their daily functioning. The goal is to help such individuals take small steps towards living an independent life. It also enables them to deal effectively with stressors, solve day-to-day problems and improve their willingness to take medications and seek treatment.
