 CCAP's Anger Management Group for Teens Begins New Session
Anger is a normal human emotion. It can result 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 group for adolescents. All Groups will be held from 3PM to 4PM at CCAP's Doric Center Conference Room, 311 Doric Avenue, Cranston, RI 02910.
