Free Yourself from Unhealthy Anger
Anger is a normal human emotion. But expressing anger in unhealthy ways not only damages your own health and well-being, but often brings pain and suffering to others.
​
Aggressive anger can lead to acts of violence. Passive anger is unhealthy, too, and can be detrimental to your relationships.
​
Samaritan’s Anger Management Program helps you gain critical tools for managing your anger in healthy ways. For example, you will learn to:
​
-
Explore your anger "triggers"
-
Practice techniques to calm yourself
-
Communicate assertively versus aggressively
-
Develop coping strategies
​
Anger Management is delivered one-on-one or in a group setting where opportunities to share with your peers enriches your learning experience. The group meets for 12 evening sessions.
