WHEN FAMILIES GET ANGRY
Anger is a powerful emotion caused by many factors. Everyone experiences anger from time to time, and is either motivated by it to overcome obstacles and achieve goals or to hurt oneself or others. It is one of the most poorly handled emotions in society and affects our home lives immensely.
“When Families Get Angry” is a three session, six hour course, developed to assist parents in understanding and constructively dealing with anger in the home. It will focus on anger between parents, parents and children, and siblings, with recognition of influences from outside forces.
The cost to cover class materials is $40.00 per individual or couple. Class registration closes at 1:00 pm on the day of the class. To register for a class, please call us at 703-792-6288, Spanish line 703-792-5940. Advanced registration is required, walk-in registrations are not accepted. A confirmation letter will be mailed a week prior to the class. Upon completion of the class a certificate is awarded. Childcare is not available.
