Clinical Anger Management Group For Adolescents

Anger is a normal human emotion. It can be caused by anything from a friend’s annoying behavior to worries about school, work, relationships, family and the day to day stresses of life. When handled in a positive and appropriate way, anger can help teens stand up for their rights. But for some teens these pressures may not be handled in a positive way and can lead to anger and aggression.

To help teens find better ways of coping with their anger, CCAP's Doric Center is accepting referrals for our clinical anger management groups for adolescents. CCAP will offer an 8 week clinical treatment group for teens.

The 8 week treatment group begins on Wednesday October 11, 2006. Groups run from 3PM to 4PM.

Participants will be expected to attend all 8 sessions. Incentives will be provided for those attending all sessions. All groups will be held at the Doric Center Conference Room, 311 Doric Avenue, Cranston, RI 02910.

CCAP accepts most insurance plans and a co-pay may be required.

The group is open to males and females. A pre- group interview and screening is required. Please call Victoria at 467-9610 extension 133 for more information and to schedule a pre-group interview.

Sessions will focus on:

• What is anger and why do we get angry
• The difference between anger and aggression
• Goal setting
• The consequences of anger and aggression
• Alternatives to aggression
• Conflict resolution
• Problem solving and assertive communication

If referrals are sufficient, a second group may be held in Coventry at CCAP's Family Health Services of Coventry located on 191 MacArthur Blvd., Coventry, RI.
