Postitive Lifestyle Program

Transforming one life at a time with the love of Jesus.

Create a better version of you

The Positive Lifestyle Program encourages people to create a better version of themselves, which has a ripple effect in creating a positive change in their communities.

The Positive Lifestyle Program is an eight-module course used by hundreds of Salvation Army chaplains, counsellors, and volunteer facilitators throughout Australia. Originating in Canada, it was introduced to Australia by The Salvation Army in the 1990s to be used in courts and prisons. The updated material is now used in a wide variety of fields and settings.

The methodology takes participants through a self-awareness-raising process, focusing on personal difficulties they may be unable to identify or address. We look 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, the Positive Lifestyle Program encourages participants to consider the following aspects of their lives:

  • Self-awareness
  • Anger
  • Depression and loneliness
  • Stress
  • Grief and loss
  • Problem solving
  • Assertiveness
  • Self-esteem
  • Future directions
