Mental health crisis among young adults is a global issue that psychologists as well as educational institutions have been trying to address effectively, especially after the pandemic. Within this context, preventive work, such as soft (life) skills training, is essential in supporting young adults' wellbeing and resilience. Soft skills are pivotal in making a difference in young adults' personal and social life as well as their academic and professional journey. Research shows that university students with improved life skills have better outcomes in terms of psychological wellbeing as well as academic success. Universities are in a unique position to help flourish "the whole student" by offering programs to help students build these skills in addition to forming them as professionals in their respective fields. This presentation will focus on Academic and Life Skills (ALIS) Program, a well-established applied psychology program that aims to foster soft skills development in university students. The skills that are the focus of this program are self-awareness, goal setting, time management, stress management, psychological resilience, communication, relationship management, multicultural competence, team membership, project management, conflict resolution, decision making, motivation, self-competence and adaptation to change. The program offers required and elective courses for credit for students at different stages of undergraduate career, namely Academic and Life Skills (ALIS 100), Applied Life Skills (ALIS 200) and Transition to Professional Life (ALIS 350). The course sessions are composed of experiential workshops, and student learning is assessed via self-awareness and skill practice assignments. The effectiveness of the courses is evaluated via standard forms and verbal feedback, and the course content and methods are regularly updated with the ever-changing growth needs of incoming generations of students.
