What's Good About Anger:

Managing your emotions is important for achieving success in all areas of life, especially in relationships and work.  This workshop offers practical solutions to manage anger effectively, by empowering you to act, rather than react, to upsetting events.  You’ll learn to identify when and why you react with anger.  Developing strategies to direct your anger in appropriate ways is a key skill you will learn. 

This course may satisfy court-mandated anger management requirements.
