Anger Management

Anger Management Services (AMS) is dedicated to the betterment of our local community. Our mission is to help the community rebuild their relationships and preserve their families. The professionals at AMS have been in the business of helping people rebuild their lives for more than a decade. AMS is a result of the need to battle the growing influence of violence impacting the families living within our communities.

All AMS staff are Certified Anger Management Facilitators. We use the highly-acclaimed Anderson & Anderson anger management curriculum. Anderson & Anderson is the most widely recognized curriculum in the world.

We use a structured, skill-building curriculum based on the acclaimed Anderson & Anderson workbook. This includes the Contrasting Wheel of Interactions which demonstrates in simple, easy to understand terms what to avoid in relating to others and which skills are important to practice for improving relationships with others.

Common problems addressed in our adult classes include destructive anger in relationships, inability to cope with partner's anger, road rage, substance abuse education, battery, violence toward family members, work-related anger, and parent-child conflict. At the end of this course, participants will be able to:

1. Recognize the role of individual responsibility in changing behavior.
2. Develop a working understanding of one's own anger/stress patterns.
3. Identify situational anger that is a precursor to violent behavior.
4. Eliminate or minimize violent confrontations.
5. Use communication skills and listening techniques effectively.
6. Be aware of one's own stress and anger signals.
7. Develop the capacity to have positive exchanges with others.
