Program Description

The Anger Management Program seeks to address the growing issue of destructive anger in society. This is a 6 or 12-week one hour weekly course designed to target persons who have been convicted of legal offenses involving harmful expressions of anger. Examples include: malicious destruction of property, reckless or careless driving (road rage), harassment (including stalking and cyber-bullying), and non-partner assault.

The Program seeks to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment to encourage participants to openly explore their behavior. Themes of personal accountability and positive change will be emphasized. The harmful consequences of destructive anger on relationships, emotional and physical health, and legal status will be identified and reinforced.

Participants will learn to identify triggers, increase self-awareness, and learn simple, proven techniques for self-management and de-escalation. Techniques include mindfulness exercises, how to make good choices, positive affirmations, and self-care, within a highly structured format. Participants gain support, validation, and insight into dangerous behaviors through interaction with other participants and with the support, guidance, and instruction of the group facilitator.
