The Key Words Used in Both Workshops
Values (n.) beliefs of a person or social group in which they have an emotional investment (either for or against something)
Self-Respect (n) a feeling of self-worth and self-esteem especially a proper regard for one's own values, character, and dignity. The term is essentially equivalent to SELF-ESTEEM
Self-Worth (n) an individual's evaluation of himself as a worthwhile human being. If he has positive feelings of S.-W., he/she tends to have a high degree of self-acceptance and self-esteem.

Positive Self-Image : Self-image is an individual's self-concept.

It is both a belief in self and a respect for self. In children,

self-image is formed largely by how they think significant adults

in their lives perceive them.
