Anger Management is a course for teens 12-18. This program uses the curriculum Responding in Peaceful and Positive Ways.  This program is designed to enable your teen to recognize the underlying emotions/triggers and replace anger with healthy coping skills.

Why Insight II?

• Teens resist being told what to think and feel; however, when presented with information, they are absolutely capable of making well reasoned, thought-based decisions.

• Students are exposed to a well-researched and up-to-date curriculum that is presented through video formats, discussion, and listening carefully to what students have to say.

• Teens are encouraged to think for themselves and weigh research and conclusions. Data is presented and it is the job of the student to digest and assimilate that data.
