About the Program
Our program will consist of 4 to 6 weeks (based on level of aggression) of targeted Cognitive Behavioral Therapy addressing problems which arose as a direct result of making bad choices.
The 4 week program will include discussions on the impact of choice (personally and on others); write a letter of apology; identify personal and environmental triggers; learn about the reasons behind uncontrollable anger and how to manage it; the difference between assertiveness and aggression; discussions on alternative choices and more.
The 6 week program will include all of the above and more in depth discussions on the impact of anger; on cognitive reconstructing; and managing anger response with a plan.
At the end, a certificate of completion will be provided to show all requirements have been successfully met.
