Anger Management Training
Family Violence Program

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. Working with The Family Center’s Anger Management classes reduces levels of anger, especially in provocative situations. The participant will learn effective coping behaviors to stop escalation and to resolve conflicts.

Homework assignments allow participants to apply their newly acquired skills. The staff employs the three major anger control interventions by using model presentations, rehearsal, positive feedback and promoting. The classes are designed for those who are unable to participate in the Anger Control Group or Individual Programs.

The Family Center’s Anger Management class uses a skill building format and each new skill relies, to some extent, on what has previously been learned, therefore participants are strongly encouraged to do all ten (10) sessions. The class contains all of the Skills and Concepts, exercises, and homework assignments used in The Anger Control Group and Individual Program.
