The program provides a structured rotating curriculum on three main topics:

Communication

Self-esteem

Alternatives to the Violent Expression of Anger

These topics were chosen due to their identification as problem areas in the cycle of

violence and anger management issues. Group materials, tools, and discussion are

directed to persons dealing with their own anger, as well as persons in a relationship

dealing with their partner's anger and/or violence. The discussion and feedback between

these groups is important to the process of the program. The group meets for 90

minutes each session, with approximately one-third of the session devoted to the

presentation of information and materials in one of the three topic areas previously

mentioned, followed by processing of the information and group discussion regarding the

role or impact of the current topic in the incident(s) for which they were referred to the

program and/or in their current situations. The information and materials presented by the

counselor and incorporated in hand-outs constitute a revolving format. This way, we

provide a thorough and uniform body of information to all participants. Enrollment in the

program is open. Therefore, participants may enroll at any time.
