What is the correct length anger management course to take

? Ironically, this is one of the most frequently asked questions we get asked of prospective anger management customers who are considering registering for a course. There are several ways to decide what length program is right for you. Here are a few suggestions to help make your decision:

1. Court Ordered Anger Management Classes: If the court has instructed you to take an anger management class, then they usually determine the length, such as an 8 session anger management class or 16 session anger management class. There are also situations where the court may require a class all the way up to 52 sessions, depending on the circumstances of the offence. If the Judge does not specify the length, then it is usually up to the provider to determine which duration class to take.

2. Self Referred Anger Management Classes: If you have enough insight to know they need help, then the provider will usually tell you how long of a course they recommend. Most anger management programs are about 8-12 sessions/hours in duration. Some providers will require a pre-assessment at the beginning of the anger course to let you know areas of strength and weakness. This is sometimes helpful to determine which areas should be the point of focus during the class. Those customers in a group class or online class may want to take a simple online anger management assessment The results may also help you better understand your anger and what needs to be done about it. While the assessments are useful, ultimately taking a ongoing anger management class would be recommended whether you score high or low in any area. Anger classes cover skills that almost anyone can immediately benefit from, even if there are certain class lessons that you currently have some strength.

3. Work or Significant other Referrals: Sometimes ones employer may refer the employee to an anger management class due to an employee exhibiting bad behavior. Such classes can be taken in a group format, online, or through one/one anger management coaching. Similarly, spousal referrals sometimes refer their partners to anger management due to a history of bad behavior or poor communication skills. Similar to the self-referred patient, most anger management classes run about eight to twelve hours total. While more classes might be helpful, most curricula can be completed in this length of time.

Anger management is a journey in self-awareness and change. Don't let your anger ruin another important relationship, job or social situation. Classes are easily found on the internet but choose a quality and trusted anger class online site or find a local provider in your area.
