Abstract
Life skills training as a promising preventive strategy of self-harm and other common problems in adolescents: low and lower middle-income country perspective
Highlights
Most available definitions contain elements of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) statement which indicates that life skills are the “psychosocial abilities for adaptive and positive behaviour that enable individuals to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life” (1)
A list of 10 life skills is described as generic life skills for psychosocial competence, identified by WHO as core life skills applicable across a wide range of contexts in daily life and risk situations
Substance use is increasing in lower-middle-income countries (LMIC) (8) and contributes to the increasing incidents of suicidal attempts (9)
Summary
