Quest for the Empowered Self is an exploration of the dynamics involved in the development of the individual in the search for identity and self-discovery. Specific emphasis will be placed on the decision-making process particularly as it relates to the individual's own humanness, value system, and unique functioning; the role of culture; and a set of life skills that will serve to empower one's identity and understanding of self. Examples of life skills include coping with physiological effects of stress and anxiety, goal setting, emotional development, problem solving, critical thinking skills, creative self-expression, self-esteem, and interpersonal communication.
