Anger Management
​
Anger Management classes are taught by a Certified Anger Management Specialist I, through the National Anger Management Association. The National Anger Management Association (NAMA) is the international professional association (represented in 26 countries) for the fields on anger management, crisis intervention and domestic violence.
​
The Anger Management classes are taught individually, in groups of 6-8, or in classes through eight-week sessions, that cover 12 modules. Through the use of a weekly anger management log and workbook, participants learn to take responsibility for their anger. This makes an anger management program a wonderful alternative to punitive incarcerations and fines which can be harmful to families and communities.
Modules focus on effective coping behavior to stop escalation and conflict resolution, as well as reducing levels of anger in provocative situations.
​
The Program offers skills and concepts including:
1. Understanding Anger
2. Ventilation Doesn’t Work
3. Anger is different from Aggression
4. Coping is better than Blaming
5. Cognitive Control Concepts
6. Identification and Working through Trigger Thoughts
7. Stress and Anxiety Management to Prevent Outbursts
8. Weekly Anger Log entries
