Selfhelpworks’ purpose is to enable corporations to improve the health and well being of at risk employees conveniently, effectively and inexpensively.

In business since 1979, Selfhelpworks has been providing corporations leading Life Change programs for permanently breaking emotional dependencies, including alcohol, smoking, and eating. Their proprietary, cognitive behavioral based process for ending dependencies has been shown to be more effective than existing methods, as demonstrated through independent studies. Considered to be an industry breakthrough, the live and on-line versions of these workshops have benefited over 150,000 employees in the last 15 years.

Our turn key programs can help corporations reduce the effects of life-style related chronic diseases that lead to lost productivity, absenteeism, and healthcare costs.

How the Program Works

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.
   
   

   Program Schedule

   The recommended schedule for the LivingLean™ Program consists of 14 videos over a period of 8 weeks (although you can choose the once a week option). Attending each session is important because this a step-by-step process, where one day builds the foundation for the next. The first five sessions are incredibly important as it is in these sessions that you will learn the secrets to personal power. The remaining are support sessions that deal with the tricks your mind plays on your higher self. These support sessions focus on how to create within yourself the possibility of being lean, healthy, and free into your future, as well as how to deal with all sorts of adverse situations. They also give you tips on how to create a healthy family without starting WWIII.

   A typical schedule is as follows:

   

   Each session lasts from 30 - 45 minutes, and consists of an audio/visual seminar and interactive quizzes. There are also many support components like RealTalkRadio™, a live internet radio show where you may call in and talk to a medical professional to get advice.

   You gain control, believe it or not, after Session 3. Our promise is: "enroll, follow our instructions, and bring all the comfort foods you want…because in a few short weeks you won't care about them anymore."
