This is a six-week group that will focus on helping adolescents ages 12-17 to identify, understand, and manage
their anger, as well as a wide range of other emotions, as they traverse adolescence.  There will be times when
our adolescent anger management groups are gender specific and other times when they will be co-ed.  In both
instances, we incorporate discussion of internalizing and externalizing behaviors for both genders.  For more
information on gender specific groups, please read below.  When registering, please indicate if you have a
preference for gender specific or co-ed group in the comments section.  Every attempt will be made to honor
those requests however our primary focus will be placing teens in the group that is most appropriate for their
age and maturity level.

Girls Anger Management Groups
This group offers psycho-educational components, role-play, honest discussion, and exploration of what it
means to be growing up and how our emotions fit into that process.  Girls in this age group often experience
their anger internally so we incorporate activities and discussion focused on the ways in which internalized
anger may be demonstrated such as: body image concerns, self-injury, and destructive relationship patterns.

Boy's Anger Management Groups
This group offers psycho-educational components, role-play, honest discussion, and exploration of what it
means to begin entering manhood and how our emotions fit into that process.  Research and clinical
experience suggest that many boys often externalize their feelings and special attention is given in this group
to examine the potential for fighting, drug and alcohol use, and other acting out behaviors.
