ATAIf you’ve convicted of an assault, disorderly conduct or a “domestic violence” offense you will most likely be required to do a minimum of an 8-hour Anger Managment class.   Sometimes you may want to do this pre-trial for negotiation purposes (consult a criminal defense attorney to see if this makes sense in your cae).  There are a number of agencies available for this class, however most of them offer the class in four 2-hour sessions.  My experience is that my clients find it more convenient to do this class in one session on a Saturday or Sunday.  Anger Managment Associates still offers the one-day weekend classes.

8-Hour Level 1 Anger Management Class
This class provides easy-to-use exercises to help participants identify major issues, anger triggers, and beliefs that make them vulnerable to anger arousal and expression. Anger management techniques are introduced and practiced during class time and outside in real life settings. You will learn how to:

* prevent impulsive reactions by understanding how anger manifests
* calm physical arousal
* restructure anger-inflaming thoughts and beliefs
* manage stress and emotional tension
* communicate with others in a way that improves situations
* appropriately release anger energy so it doesn’t build up within the body.

Domestic Violence TreatmentRepeat offenders and those accused of more serious assaults may be required to do a more intensive Domestic Violence Treatment program.  Assessment and Treatment Associates, our favorite substance abuse treatment agency has started a new domestic violence treatment program. You can expect the same quality of services as Assessment and Treatment Associates offers with all their programs. The main reasons I recommend this agency is they treat their students with respect and always respond timely to requests for information.

Domestic Violence Treatment
We are a state certified agency offering domestic violence perpertrator treatment programs in all three of our locations. You will find the same friendly client focused, professional service as our chemical dependency program. We do TRUE evaluations and are prepared to present our findings to the court. Our therapy program is cognitive/behavioral based and designed for low to medium risk offenders.

Both the agencies above, AMA and ATA, are limited in the dates and locations of their Level 1 Anger Managment Classes.  For more options try:
