Anger Management Group
The Anger Management Group is a six-week group session where our therapists provide an opportunity to gain insight into their difficulties while learning skills to appropriately deal with anger. The program encourages youth who participate to accept responsibility for what they’ve done and avoid harmful behaviors in the future.
Anger Management is appropriate for youth who require more intensive treatment than basic education and have exhibited instances of inappropriate uncontrolled anger behaviors including harassment, assault, trespassing and/or destruction of property.
After orientation, teens and their parents/guardians must then participate in an evaluation to determine if they are appropriate the Anger Management Group. Sometimes youth will come to the program by referrals from their school or probation officer, however, the decision as to whether or not a teen should be in Inthe program is made at the time of the evaluation. Any teen that is appropriate can be referred into this group.
Teens can miss and "make-up" no more than one session to be eligible for successful completion.
Anger Management groups are provided at scheduled times, in the evenings at both our North and South Indianapolis offices.
