Adult Anger Management Group

adultangergroupAnger is a human emotion which, in and of itself, is neither good nor bad. In fact there are times when anger is an appropriate response to a situation. However, anger becomes a problem when it lasts too long, becomes too intense, or in any number of ways seems to take control of our lives. 

This 8-week educational group is designed to help individuals gain control over anger. The program utilizes a research-based curriculum of cognitive-behavioral skills to help participants understand anger and make behavior changes to effectively manage it. The group is led by Richard Lyon, MA, LCPC, CADC, CAMS-II, a certified anger management specialist.

The fee for the entire 8-week group is only $40 for residents and $120 for non-residents (space permitting). Participants must be 19 years of age or older. 

All participants will receive a What’s Good About Anger? workbook containing research-based strategies for transforming anger into healthy skills for living.

This group will meet in-person or virtually, depending on participant preference.
