Understand the pattern. Practice a different response.

You may notice the same argument unfolding again, or realize afterward that your reaction was bigger than you intended. This course creates room to examine what happens before anger escalates and practice responses you can use in everyday situations.

LEARNING YOU CAN USE

Build skills for everyday moments.

Notice the early signals

Connect situations, thoughts and physical cues so you can recognize escalation earlier.

Create a workable pause

Practice calming and problem-solving strategies that help you choose your response.

Communicate with accountability

Work on expressing needs, handling disagreements and taking responsibility for the impact of your behavior.

YOUR LEARNING PATH

What you will work through.

01

Recognize your pattern

Explore personal triggers, physical tension and the thoughts that intensify anger. Consider how past experiences and current pressures influence your reactions.

02

Rehearse a different response

Practice emotional regulation, assertive communication and conflict-resolution skills using situations that matter to you. Make room for accountability without turning the session into blame.

03

Make the plan your own

Identify strategies to try between sessions and reflect on what worked. Combine those tools into a practical plan for handling future conflict.

A personal plan for responding differently

Bring the skills together in an anger-management plan: your early warning signs, ways to pause, words for expressing needs, and steps for repairing a difficult interaction. The goal is to leave with something you can practice when a familiar situation comes up again.

How it works

Six sessions combine guided discussion, skill practice and reflection between meetings. The course moves from understanding triggers to practicing communication and creating a personalized plan. Contact us for current dates, session length, meeting format and cost.

Court requirements & documentation

If you have a court, probation or employer requirement, ask that authority to confirm this specific course, its hours and delivery format before enrolling. Bring the required criteria to the office so we can discuss whether the offering fits. Anger management is not a substitute for a required Battering Intervention and Prevention Program (BIPP).

Practical questions

Will this meet my court or probation requirement?

Acceptance depends on the referring authority and the terms of your requirement. Obtain confirmation of the specific program, required hours and documentation before enrolling. A certificate alone does not guarantee acceptance.

Is this the same as a BIPP?

No. A Battering Intervention and Prevention Program addresses abusive behavior and coercive control within a distinct program framework. If BIPP is required, ask the referring authority for an appropriate accredited program.

How do I enroll and what does it cost?

Send an inquiry naming the course you are interested in, or call our office. Ask about the current fee, schedule, available format and registration process before making arrangements. An inquiry does not reserve a place.

What if I need to miss a session?

Contact the office before the session when possible. Ask how a missed session affects completion and whether a make-up option is available. Do not assume partial attendance fulfills the course requirements.

Will I receive a certificate?

A certificate of completion is available after you complete the course requirements. Confirm the attendance and participation requirements, documentation needed, and how to obtain your certificate before enrolling. A completion certificate is not a professional license or continuing-education credit.
