Anger Management for Adults

            

Course Overview:
Chronic anger can be costly, both physically and emotionally.   Most people can use their anger in appropriate ways in some situations, and yet be ineffectual in others.

In this group, we will explore how anger arises. Participants will learn new skills to relate to anger without harming ourselves or anyone else, and how to reduce it, especially in provocative situations. They will learn effective coping behaviors to stop escalation and to resolve conflicts. Join us for this ex-citing exploration.

Methodology:
The group employs the three major anger management interventions by using model presentations, rehearsal, positive feedback and promoting. Graduated homework assignments allow participants to apply their newly acquired skills.

  Learning Outcomes:
