Our adolescent anger management group is an 8-week interactive learning experience designed to give adolescents the skills they need to handle their anger in adaptive ways. We meet on Wednesday evenings from 6-7 and the next group will run from April 9 to May 28.

During the group we explore the sources of anger for adolescents and teach them how to recognize signals of anger before they lose control. Through the use of homework and role-play participants are taught how to monitor their thoughts and use anger reducers to gain control over their anger. At the conclusion of the course participants will be able to recognize the Angry Behavior Cycle and will learn how their actions have both short-term and long-term consequences. The group curriculum is taken from Arnold Goldstein's PREPARE program for prosocial skills.

The group is open to children between the ages of 12-18. The fee for the entire eight-week program is $40. Some scholarships are available with proof of need.
