NEW FOCUS LLC - 12 WEEK ANGER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

Anger isn't always the problem, it is how you handle it. Anger does become a problem when the individual experiences anger too frequently and anger levels are too intense to control and/or are expressed in an inappropriate manner. Anger can be a natural response to those situations where we feel threatened or where we believe another person has wronged us. Anger management is extremely important to teach us to self-regulate and to be able to control anger expression.

Our 12 week program is based on "The Anger Management Workbook and Curriculum" by Dr. Richard Pfeiffer. The curriculum includes:

-Learning to manage anger, -How to stop violence and the threat of violence,
-How to develop self-control over ones thoughts and actions and, -How to receive support and feedback from others.

The course includes; out of class homework, education about anger, anger cues and triggers, ways to measure anger episodes and how to monitor possible "escalation" of angry episodes, strategies and a plan to reduce and eliminate triggers and events and relaxation techniques and cognitive restructuring.

The program includes a 90 minute intake (pre and post testing), 12 weeks of group consisting of 90 minutes per week and MANDATORY entries to a weekly anger management log to be kept by group attendees.
