Middle School Anger-Management/Social Skill Group
The Middle School Anger Management Group is designed to prevent younger adolescents from escalating to higher levels of interpersonal conflict within their home, school, and larger community settings. Members are more likely to have social skill challenges and commonly struggle in their school placements. Most members have identified learning challenges that have been exacerbated during the transition to a complex middle school learning environment. Group time is generally focused more on activities and cooperative group interactions.

Adolescent Anger Management Group
The Intensive Adolescent Anger Management Group is designed to meet the needs of older adolescents who have struggled with anger management issues for an extended period of time. Most group participants have required a hospital placement and/or a specialized school placement and struggle with mood instability, social skill development and at times substance use issues. Participants require time to "Peel Away" the layers of prior treatment frustrations and engage with peers and me and my staff in an attempt to develop a new pathway through high school as they prepare for college.
