Stories From Real People:
"My father never really taught me how to be a
good husband to my wife or father to my children.
However, he did teach me how to verbally and physically
abuse those I love. I refuse to be the man that he
was or live the life he lived. My anger was so out
of control that it used to make my family sad and
afraid to be around me. I always felt depressed because
I never wanted to be the way I was. I finally made
the step to admit that I needed help. I can’t
say where I would be without the services of IBSG.
They cared about me and my overall well-being. They
helped me find out why I was angry and helped me gain
control over my emotions and my life. Although, I
put my family through a lot they know that I have
changed. We are now the happy family I had always
imagined it to be."
Program overview:
The Anger Management Program is a psycho-educational
program for children, adolescent and adults who have
difficulty controlling their anger within their family,
school and/or community. The focus of the program
is to help participants identify underlying issues
and to develop assertive rather than aggressive solutions.
Anger itself is a natural way of reacting to threats
or pain, which creates feelings and behaviors, which
cause individuals to act in a defensive manner. However,
the Anger Management program is specifically designed
to help those individuals with high levels of anger
to be able to control their anger.
The program focuses on:
• Sources of anger responses
• Anger identification and control
• Pro-social behavior
• Positive responses toward authority figures
• Self-esteem and social skills building
• Opportunities to build trust
• Moral development
• Self-respect
• Responsibility and responsible choices
• Conflict resolution
• Peer pressure
