This class will be every Thursday morning from 9:30-11:30, starting June 4th and ending August 13th.

The Diamond Standard is specifically designed for young adults, ages 15-29. You can expect to learn a lot about yourself - your unique strengths and weaknesses and how to use them for your benefit as you pursue your education, in the workplace, as a parent and in all of your relationships. http://acpcpueblo.org/thediamondstandard/

DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH
Young people ages 15-25 are among the least served and highest risk populations in North America. They face rapid changes in responsibility levels, social resources, relationships, education and career opportunities. They are also most likely to be involved in life-altering, high-risk behaviors.

DISCOVERING BEAUTY AND BRILLIANCE
Throughout The Diamond Standard workshop series, the story of how a diamond develops from coal to become a brilliant gem is used as a metaphor for the personal development process. Participants begin to discover skills and resources that help them reveal, value and protect the treasure that lies within them.

LIVING A LIFE OF EXCELLENCE

PHYSICAL HEALTH
PSYCHOLOGICAL & EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING
