Course Overview
Controlling and limiting anger is important in every aspect of one”s
life. Without control you are putting limits on what you can accomplish.
Anger can be an incredibly damaging force, costing people their jobs,
and personal relationships. However, since everyone experiences anger,
having a constructive approach to manage it effectively can turn it into
a valuable asset.
Our Anger Management course will give participants that constructive
approach. Participants will learn how to identify their anger triggers
and what to do when they get angry. Through specific coping and planning
techniques, anger can become a positive tool.
Research has consistently demonstrated that when clear goals are
associated with learning that the learning occurs more easily and
rapidly. With that in mind, let’s review our goals for today.
