Anger Management Education
These free educational guides explain how anger works and what to expect when a court orders anger management. They cover what court-ordered classes usually include and how long they run, how anger management differs from a batterer intervention program, how to identify your personal anger triggers, and practical techniques for calming down before a conflict escalates.
They are written for people who have been ordered to complete anger management, for their families, and for anyone who wants to understand anger better. Use them to understand what your court order asks for and to prepare questions for a provider or the court. The guides are not a class, therapy or treatment, and reading them does not complete a court requirement. If your court ordered an anger management class, enroll with a licensed provider or the program your court names. Our online community service coursework includes lessons on related themes such as managing anger, accountability and decision-making, but it is community service, not an anger management class.
