The FAST Skill
Building Self-Respect
The FAST skills will help you build self-respect and self-confidence.
It is important to remember that relationships are not just about the other person.
YOU are important, too!
How you talk and act with other people impacts how you feel about yourself.
 When you treat others with respect, you feel good about yourself.
 When you treat others badly, you feel bad about yourself.
The FAST skill helps you participate in relationships in ways that respect both
yourself and the other person.
Each letter in FAST reminds us of ways to act with respect in relationships.
