Anger Management Classes (See dates of upcoming classes below these class descriptions.) Anger Management Associates classes offer a class size format which provides opportunities for personalized learning. Participants have opportunities to identify the primary ways anger activates and escalates within their mind and body and then develop a personal plan that will be most effective in helping them stay cool, calm, and in control during stressful situations. Classes and support groups are led by an instructor with certified anger management training through a national professional counseling association. Most classes are scheduled over multiple days with a week between meetings to allow participants to practice techniques, integrate them into their normal daily routines, and then return to receive feedback and additional help with problem areas. 8-Hour Level 1 Anger Management Class This class provides easy-to-use exercises to help participants identify major issues, anger triggers, and beliefs that make them vulnerable to anger arousal and expression. Anger management techniques are introduced and practiced during class time and outside in real life settings. You will learn how to: * prevent impulsive reactions by understanding how anger manifests * calm physical arousal * restructure anger-inflaming thoughts and beliefs * manage stress and emotional tension * communicate with others in a way that improves situations * appropriately release anger energy so it doesn't build up within the body. Also, explored are the effects of stress and diet choices as contributing factors to increased anger arousal and health disorders. 16-Hour Level II Anger Management Class This class begins by first taking the 8-hour Level I 8-hour class.  The second 8-hour Level II portion then expands on the concepts learned in the basic Level I class. In addition, participants build their emotional intelligence skills by learning ways to: * resolve conflict; enrich relationships * identify and release old core anger issues of the past * deal difficult people in family and workplace settings * use the energy from anger to achieve positive outcomes. Focus is on helping participants develop confidence by mastering skills through problem-solving of their personal situations and issues. See dates of upcoming classes below.
