Anger Management Facilitator Guide

Anger Management gives participants an opportunity to explore the role anger plays in their lives and offers strategies and skills for managing how they experience and express anger and other difficult feelings. The curriculum incorporates both cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness techniques to help participants increase their ability to think about their thinking. Developing this critical awareness can enhance emotional self-regulation and, in turn, promote healthy relationship-building, more effective communication and overall enhanced well-being among participants. This curriculum is a great fit for court-mandated anger management courses, risk-need-responsive interventions for justice-involved youth or adults, anger management groups in mental health or addiction treatment or as part of individualized treatment planning.
