Building the House

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs can be thought of as a house that represents what motivates people. At the foundation are basic needs—food, water, and shelter—essential for survival. Once those are met, the next level focuses on safety, such as having a stable job and feeling secure. Above that are love and belonging needs, which include friendships and relationships. Next comes esteem, involving self-confidence and respect from others. At the top is self-actualization—reaching your full potential and finding purpose in life. In this way, people build their “house of needs,” starting with the basics and progressing toward higher goals.​ To discover modules that meet your family's needs, click the icons below.
