Anger Management
 

 
Controlling Anger and Learning to Manage It. The (CALM) Program is a practical group training program based on the widely practiced principles of cognitive-behavioral theory.
 
Objective: To reduce the frequency, intensity and duration of anger, especially when no real danger exists. The reduction of these aspects of anger will help to lessen the likelihood of the occurrence of aggression, the cluster of behaviors associated with the feeling of anger, which will lead to improved interpersonal relations, avoidance of physical altercations or other potentially illegal acts, and prevention of bodily injury to the self and others. Similarly, the reduction of aggression leads to emotional self control, improved health, reduced personal distress, and the ability to pursue useful and desirable personal goals.
 
Skills Acquired: Teaches participants self monitoring and self control skills that allow them to reduce the intensity, frequency and duration of their anger and, consequently, end their patterns of aggression.
