What is TAO?
TAO is an online library of interactive programs to learn life skills and to help you bounce back from disappointments or stumbling blocks in your life. It includes educational modules, assessments, and a mindfulness library.
You can learn personal skills to improve your resilience, and interpersonal skills to aid effective communication with others. And, you complete TAO at your own pace. TAO is not one size fits all, and we encourage you to venture on different pathways to find what works best for you.
Pathways in TAO include:
- Calming Your Worry - In this pathway, you will learn to recognize and understand how your thoughts influence your feelings and behaviors.
- Let Go and Be Well - Improving your ability to accept and adapt to unexpected events in your life can lead to marked improvement in both functioning and mood.
- Interpersonal Relationships and Communication - This pathway will help you understand how to improve your relationships by building communication skills, learning to recognize unhealthy relationship behaviors, and finding ways to manage anger.
