Anger Management
The Anger Management Program is designed to develop and strengthen skills needed
to constructively manage a person’s feeling of anger. Education will be provided
on the styles of anger, feelings associated with this emotion, and skills to use
to express our anger in a healthy way.
"Managing anger doesn’t necessarily mean getting angry less often (although many
times this is the case), but it does mean learning to express your anger in a way
that is helpful to you and/or those around you."
Specific Goals
Individuals will learn to:
- To become more aware of how anger, aggression, and abuse negatively affects their
lives.
- To identify emotions and feelings associated with anger, while learning more effective
ways of expressing themselves.
- To develop new anger management strategies free of aggression.
- To develop conflict resolution skills that foster healthy relationships.
Anger Management Format
Members will meet weekly for nine weeks for group psychotherapy. Members will be
expected to sign a program contract agreeing to attend group, complete homework,
and work on skills. This group is open to adult men and women. Services will be
billed to insurances or a sliding fee scale is available if a client is eligible.
