Welcome to Selfhelpworks, Inc.

We are honored that you are taking the time to explore the LivingLife™ Series of lifestyle intervention programs for your health and wellness initiatives. 

The programs in this series change lives. They are designed to empower participants. They enable users to achieve their health and wellness goals in a way that makes them feel good about themselves and excited about their future. As Tommy Thompson, former Surgeon General stated, “At the end of the day, without life change it is all for naught.”

About the LivingLife™ Series of Programs

The LivingLife™ Series is transformational multimedia training. Real change starts in the mind, stirs the emotions, and then impacts behavior. Permanent change occurs when the context that a person operates from is transformed. That very seldom takes place by reading a book or by browsing a web site.

Selfhelpworks' programs are evidence-based cognitive behavioral training that help people change the way they think about themselves, their lives, and their lifestyles. The programs teach simple personal empowerment principles that are practical and enlightening. Hundreds of thousands of people around the world have successfully improved the quality of their lives by simply applying the programs' principles to their daily activities.

How Do They Work?

The Selfhelpworks philosophy is “A movie a week can change a life.” Participants watch as little as one movie per week at their leisure. (They may watch them more often if they choose and we will even remind them if they forget.) In between sessions they apply one power principle learned in the movie that is designed to remove barriers, create possibility, and keep them focused on their vision.

The user-friendly “feature sets” of the Selfhelpworks programs were designed to recreate as closely as possible the experience that a person could have if they attended our live trainer-led programs.

1. Instructor – Each lesson is a multimedia coaching session led by a certified trainer. The program trainer motivates, educates, and demonstrates to the participants how to apply the simple but powerful concepts to even the most difficult challenges in their lives. They lay the foundation, process, and track for change.
   
   
2. Support – Live programs usually contain a wide spectrum of support options. Support from Selfhelpworks is unequaled in stand-alone online programs.
   
   
1. MP3 Downloads - A series of 13 short motivational support talks are available for the participant to listen to on their cell, I Pod, or CD.
   
   
2. PersonalCoach™ - The PersonalCoach™ is a sophisticated software program that tracks the user experience longitudinally and provides experience-based coaching appropriately. This is an integral part of the programs’ unparalleled interactive nature. Participants complete short confidential surveys before most sessions. Based on how they fill out the surveys they may receive coaching (audio and text) on how to deal with certain challenging situations. They may also receive coaching to keep them or nudge them back on track, or to just simply acknowledge them. They may even get e-mail or PDA feedback if they choose.
   
   
3. Internet-Based RealTalkRadio™ - Once a week we hold a live online support group hosted by the instructor or a guest. Users can call, e-mail, or fax in questions, problems, and challenges if they want to get verbal feedback (as if they were in a live group session)… or they can just listen. Selfhelpworks promotes the sessions weekly to all participants unless they opt out of the reminder.
   
   
4. E-mails – Users receive up to 50 reminder, motivational, or educational e-mails throughout the year.
   
   
3. Program Manual – At the end of each lesson, reading material, which mirrors the delivered message, is available to print and refer to as desired.
   
   
4. Program Exercises – Each session contains actualization exercises (incorporated within the reading materials) designed to bring that lesson to life.
   
   
5. Additional Tools – The programs contain a variety of program-specific tools designed to the keep the user experience interesting and valuable.
   
   

What's the Difference?

Simply said: Experience. We have been helping people reach their goals since 1979. The process is evidence-based, clinically tested, and peer reviewed. The programs are results-oriented and focus on providing the tools and resources necessary to help guide a broad demographic and psychosocial base of users through these life-altering initiatives.
