Come and join us for our youth Anger Management every Monday 5pm to
6:30pm and learn how to control your anger.

We first started with holding Anger Management Classes for youth ages 14 to 18 and quickly we saw the need for what we were doing and our classes grew, and grew, and grew.  Currently we have two Anger Management youth classes of close to 20 youth in each class.  In the near future we see the need for more groups to reduce the class size down to 12 to 15 youth per group.  This allows for more interaction and breakthroughs to happen.  One lesson we teach in class is that unresolved anger will always come out and once we recognize that we have it the challenge is to develop a productive way to release the anger ones feeling.  This is a process but we teach youth the triggers and coping techniques with managing their feelings with others!

The youth component has been so successful that we started an Adult Anger Management component in January 2009.  To date this group as grown to more than 30 adults each week with more folks inquiring about how to get involved with class.  Since January we have had over 10 adults complete class and will be graduating during our next graduation ceremony on Saturday, June 6th between 11am and 1pm.  Some graduates continue to come to class even after graduation so they can continue to learn and grow.  We tell participants that anger does not disappear after completing the class but what does change is how they deal with anger and develop positive alternatives versus negative outbursts.

What positive techniques do you use to avoid negative behavior ?  How do you manage your anger?  We would love to have your feedback!

To all the youth: have a safe and Happy New Year! Let's move forward in
2009.
