Managing Anger
Anger - it’s a natural human emotion like happiness, sadness and fear, and for most people it stays within a safe and healthy range. For some, however, frequent and intense episodes of anger can seriously interfere with everyday life and lead to destructive behaviour. Helping people to understand their anger and offering them the right help to start managing it can make a huge and lasting difference to their recovery.
Summary
The course is aimed at all those who work with problematic drug and alcohol users and looks at how to help service users develop anger management techniques. This course is suitable for people working with adults or young people.
This course is about helping people who struggle to manage their anger – manage it better.
Please note: This is not a self-defence or breakaway course (we do have a partner organisation we can put you in touch with if this is the sort of training you are looking for).
We are aware that many colleagues; not just in drug and alcohol services but in other services, are working with people who are struggling to manage their anger.
This course has also been suggested by participants on the Hidden Harm for Drug and Alcohol Users course, who have said that it would be a helpful addition to supporting the parenting capacity of substance users.
The issue has also been raised by specialist young people’s workers, who feel many of the young people they work with could benefit from greater support in managing their anger.
The course covers:
-
Understand the concept of anger and its effects
-
Know what makes it difficult for some people to control their anger
-
Understand the link between substance use and anger
-
Know about different anger management techniques to deal with situations in a positive way
-
Consider how to transfer the learning back into the workplace
