Anger Management

AGENDA
Group Facilitator: Bethany Bealko and Emily DeWitt
Purpose: Anger management tends to be something that most teens need help
with but few actively seek. We take anger very seriously and feel that students
should be educated on how to deal with their anger at an earlier age in hopes to
prevent anger outbursts in the future. Students will learn how to deal with their
anger in different ways, and ultimately work towards finding the root of their anger.
