Aim of this Program

Most people experience some form of frustration and anger in response to life challenges. In fact at times anger is a useful emotion that signals to us that a need is not being met or that a situation is unfair. When managed effectively, we can contain our anger and act in respectful ways to have our needs met and resolve conflict.

However, for some of us, anger seems to dominate our lives. It could be that you have too much anger which is difficult to manage and/or result in aggression such as yelling and hitting out. For some, this then interferes with relationships and personal well-being.

For people who are mandated to do this program, the course meets all requirements requested by governing bodies. You will be supplied with all the required documentation.
