Managing Anger

We all get angry at times, but unchecked, frequent anger can negatively impact our relationships and wellbeing. Our experienced facilitators unpack common causes of anger and provide healthy methods for managing angry emotions.

Overview

Who It's For

This program is for people whose anger has negative impacts on their lives and relationships. Please note: If you are looking to overcome your anger and violent behaviour, please see our Taking Responsibility program.

How We Help

We’ll help you understand your anger and negative behaviour patterns. Our practical tools will support you in your life beyond our program.

What to Expect

Groups of six to eight participants meet weekly. Our facilitators will encourage but won’t force you to share your experiences. While difficult at first, almost all participants tell us how helpful it is to discuss their anger with others.
