ABOUT
Anger Management at the Center for Prevention for Counseling uses the Century Anger Management model of intervention. This curriculum teaches eight essential tools of anger control to participants in a weekly class/group format. It is a highly structured 12-hour core program based on the workbook titled Anger Management for the Twenty-First Century.
The workbook includes worksheets and questionnaires to personalize and apply the tools of anger control in a participant’s daily life. Participants are also encouraged to practice the tools between sessions and then briefly share their progress or challenges with the class. A certificate is issued at the completion of the program, and graduates are invited to return to future classes for a “tune-up,” if needed.
The goals of Century Anger Management Model of Intervention are:
- Recognize and understand the nature and normalcy of anger as a hard-wired reaction for survival when triggered
- Understand the high costs of inappropriate anger expression in today's society
- Learn that the emotion of anger is separate from the expression of anger
- Respond to anger triggers in more appropriate ways
- Learn the skill of assertive communication as an alternative to angry outbursts or suppression of appropriate angry feelings
- Gain skills in empathy, emotional intelligence, stress management, forgiveness, and improving judgment and impulse control
