The Anger Management Program at Emerge consists of 14 sessions, divided as follows:
One session reviewing the program workbook, discussing the activities involved in the program, and discussing an initial educational lesson.
Four sessions discussing the concept of “Prevention.” These sessions focus on changing thoughts to prevent a harmful reaction to anger.
Four sessions discussing the concept of “Containment.” These sessions focus on how to stop anger from escalating to an unmanageable level.
Four sessions discussing the concept of “Resolution.” These sessions focus developing conflict resolution skills and making amends for angry behavior.
One session of review and self-evaluation, reflecting on lessons learned and goals for the future. Each group or individual session requires participants to complete four workbook exercises which have a variety of approaches and content. Workbooks are given out during the first session.
