We offer a 12-hour six-week on-line anger management program for men that happens 12 – 15 times a year. The program takes place from 6:30-8:30 pm PST. You can see upcoming anger management group start dates by scrolling down this page. The group is a safe and supportive place where everyone is treated with respect and dignity. We help men turn their anger into personal growth, wisdom and maturity.
By attending this group you can expect to:
- Become less reactive, more intentional and intelligent when the emotions rise up
- Understand where your anger comes from, the effects of childhood abuse, and how to work with it constructively
- Get to know the impact of anger on your physiology and how it impacts others’ bodies. In other words, the somatic impact of strong emotions
- Hear what has worked for others in similar situations
- Reduce anxiety and stress, increase connections with others and gain compassion
- Develop a clear plan to deal with difficult situations when they arise
The cost to attend a 6-week group is $695 per person, which includes taxes and a book. To register, you must pay a non-refundable deposit of $195. If you receive IA or disability, or you have financial difficulties you may qualify for a sliding scale fee or funding. If you have already graduated from our program, you can repeat the group for $450 (plus $32.25 for an updated book). Our drop-in rate is $75 per session (tax included), but it is only available to those who have completed the entire six-week program.
When you join the group, you will receive a book at the beginning. For men, the book is: Lose Your Temper: A Conscious Exploration of Anger, and for women, it’s Healing Anger: Turning Anger into Growth.
All our groups are online.
Because our groups are online, you can join from anywhere in the world, as long as you have a private space and reliable wifi. Individual sessions can also be done through Zoom or another platform of your choice. For most of our counsellors, the cost for one on one sessions are the same whether you join us in person or online, but there is an extra fee for postage if you want us to mail you a book. Most of our participants are from Canada, but we work with many people internationally.
Our group sessions for women focus on healing anger in a safe and supportive environment. Women and men face different challenges when it comes to anger. Men, when they were boys growing up, were often encouraged to express their anger while women are often judged for it. Women are most often taught to suppress their anger, if not at home, then almost always, in public, which can lead to negative consequences. In our Healing Anger Groups for Women, we offer a safe and supportive space where women can learn to relate to their anger in a positive and constructive way.
The Healing Anger Groups for Women run approximately every 8 weeks and are held online. Our Six-Week Healing Anger for Women group starts on Wednesday, January 15th Click here to go to the Shop Page to learn more.
