Anger Management Mission

Anger Management Mission

While the emphasis in most schools today is on
teaching the core academics, Dr. Becourtney
contends that not enough time is being spent
teaching our students how to cope with frustration,
handle conflict, and manage their anger. While
some adolescents clearly need help in these
areas more than others, it is Dr. Becourtney's
belief that every teenager (and most adults)
could benefit from a quality therapeutic anger
management program. Thus, Dr. Becourtney's
mission is to help as many teens and adults as
possible develop the anger management skills
and techniques that they need.

The individual that is proficient in managing
his/her anger is much more likely to hold down a
job, experience satisfying personal relationships,
and experience a high quality of life. Anger is an
extremely important emotion that when channeled
properly can be of tremendous benefit. On the
flip side, when one is unable to successfully
manage his/her anger, significant problems are
likely to occur.

It is inevitable to encounter situations in which one
experiences feelings of anger and frustration. It
is, however, the way that one handles such
situations that often determines how he or she is
perceived by others.

It is Dr. Becourtney's goal to continue to help
teenagers and adults gain insight into their anger
and its potential consequences and to provide
them with some new "tools" that they can use to
better manage their anger. It is hoped that the
skills learned during this program will last a lifetime.
