The second day, Advanced Training, is designed for experienced group facilitators or those who have already completed the two-day training. This will allow participates to fine-tune their skills while having an opportunity to participate in demonstration groups using the client workbooks. The focus will be on styles of leadership, group process, group cohesion, and developing competence in the Anderson & Anderson psycho-educational model of intervention.

Certification

Dr. Evans is a Certified Anger Management Facilitator. He was trained by George Anderson (Mr. Anderson was the consultant to the motion picture Anger Management). Dr. Evans' services as an Anger Management Facilitator are designed for individuals who have problems managing angry feelings.  (See our program objectives.)  Anger is a basic human emotion. Dr. Evans also provides training for organizations that are interested in training their staff on reducing conflict, managing stress, controlling anger and increasing emotional intelligence. In addition, Dr. Evans trains professionals in the facilitation of anger management groups.

Anger is frequently referred to as a secondary emotion. Anger is secondary to or is used to express other negative feelings such as fear, rage, unhappiness, discontent, depression and others. (See our checklist.) Frequently, the angry person gains attention, control and influence from or over others. The expression of anger is learned and, therefore, we can "unlearn" the inappropriate or self-defeating expression of it when we learn new skills. The expression of anger can have some very heavy costs.  (Read about the costs of anger.)

Dr. Evans teaches the acceptable expression of anger and helps individuals recognize and manage anger, thereby eliminating violent and self-destructive behaviors from their lives. Participants will learn to identify and control their anger so that it does not become a destructive force in their lives. By gaining a better understanding of self, individuals will learn to better control their anger so that it doesn't lead to violent outbursts or actions that are harmful to others. Different techniques are learned for stress management and enhancing emotional intelligence. Also part of this program is a focus on improving communications so that individuals may become better listeners and communicators.

Please note that anger management training is an educational process and is not psychotherapy or counseling. Psychotherapy and counseling typically are not effective in anger management. Anger management is about learning new behavior, not treating psychological illness. Individuals diagnosed with psychiatric disorders typically are not suitable for anger management training alone.

Anger and emotional management training is conducted for both individuals in groups and for organizations. Organizations will enjoy not only a more peaceful and safer environment but will realize other benefits as well. Organizations that provide training for their staff in anger and emotional management will realize greater productivity and efficiency. A staff that knows how to communicate well with each other and respect themselves and others are more likely to create a corporate culture that will produce greater results than one that does not.
