The Survival Skills Chronicle is published four times a year by Survival Skills Education and Development. The mission of SSED is to serve our global community by providing programs, education, training, and research that promote personal and economic independence and interdependence for individuals, families, and communities. We want to focus our services on the traditionally and systematically disenfranchised and disempowered, i.e., women, children, and low-income families.

Send any questions, comments or suggestions to Editor, Survival Skills Chronicle, at 2007 Yanceyville Street, Box 46 Greensboro, NC 27405. We welcome training ideas, lab and/or graduation ideas and success stories. We hope facilitators can use suggestions presented here and that everyone is inspired by the hard work and many achievements of participants.

Personal decisions regarding health, exercise, employment or other matters should be made after consultation with the reader's professional advisors.
