This resource focuses on interpersonal effectiveness skills crucial for individuals in recovery, emphasizing the importance of clear communication to maintain well-being and build a supportive network. It introduces the DEAR MAN framework, which consists of seven components: Describe, Express, Assert, Reinforce, Mindful, Appear Confident, and Negotiate, each aimed at guiding users through challenging social situations while honoring their recovery goals. Additionally, the document explores various communication styles—passive, aggressive, passive-aggressive, and assertive—encouraging users to reflect on their own styles and apply the DEAR MAN skills in real-life scenarios. Practical role-play exercises are included to aid in the development of these skills, promoting confidence and self-respect in interpersonal interactions.
