Matt Talbot Provides Life Skills Training Classes

Matt Talbot’s Life Skills Project is a series of six classes held at MTKO (www.mtkserves.org) that provide education and training for individuals who are homeless, near homeless, or recently housed.   Classes in the areas of employment, parenting, nutrition, housing, budgeting, and self-esteem teach basic but necessary skills that allow individuals and families to achieve self-sufficiency.  Each class is taught by an expert in the field.  In addition to employees of MTKO, class facilitators include professionals from Lincoln Housing Authority, CEDARS Youth Services, Vocational Rehabilitation and Wells Fargo.

The Life Skills class series is designed for individuals who are transitioning from a substance abuse treatment facility or temporary shelter into an independent living environment.  Many human services agencies in the community refer clients to the program.  Participants learn new skills every week that promote positive, healthy outcomes as the individuals move to recovery and self-sufficiency.  A small group atmosphere encourages camaraderie, trust, sharing, and celebration for collective success in completing the program. The Life Skills Project has been implemented at MTKO for over fifteen years in an environment that promotes care and dignity.  Offered six times a year, it is the only training course of its kind in the community for the homeless and near homeless population.
