Managing a Client’s Anger Workshop

Anger can be frightening, whether it comes from a school-aged child or a teen. In fact, anger is a call for help. This workshop will explore the causes of anger, the needs it fulfills for the person, and then will move on to specific tools to help a child/teen de-escalate/respond to anger at each of its four stages – beginning with frustration and ending with rage.
