Anger Management (Adult & Adolescent)
We use a research-based curriculum designed for those who have difficulty managing their anger appropriately. Clients learn the components of anger, relaxation techniques, and coping skills. Clients receive a certificate of completion at the end of six-session series. Although some clients are referred by probation and the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), anyone desiring to learn how to manage anger more effectively may benefit from this class.
These classes are held on Monday evenings from 4 to 6 p.m. however other hours may be available by request. The cost is $175 for Bloom Township residents and $250 for non-residents.

These classes are held on Monday evenings from 4-6 p.m. Fee is $100 for Bloom Township residents and $175 for non-residents. Hours may be changed to adapt to client work schedule.
