As we progress through the 21st century, we humans are at a crucial crossroads where skills beyond traditional academics are more indispensable than ever. Humanity is evolving rapidly, and these competencies aren't just essential for working prospects, they're paramount to maintaining and improving mental health, which ultimately influences the effective functioning of our societies at every level.

These essential capabilities are known by various terms: Psychosocial Skills, Soft Skills, Life Skills, Transferable Skills, Emotional Intelligence, Non-Cognitive Skills, Employability Skills, Personal Competencies, Intrapersonal Skills, Self-Management Skills, Essential Skills and Adaptive Skills, to name a few.

Historically underappreciated, these non-academic competencies arm individuals with the tools needed to navigate life's complex tapestry, cultivate fruitful relationships, and manage personal emotions and behaviours. They are intrinsically valuable, forming the bedrock of sustainable mental health.
