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.

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. The 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.
