Peace: The Other Side of Anger with Dave Wolffe

Author and educator Dave Wolffe will be sharing some ideas on anger and anger management through the use of The Anger Management Power (A.M.P.) Program.

This program has been used with over 1,000 young people (who were part of its development. Some of the changes made to it were a result of participant responses) as well as with parents, college students (teacher education and dispute resolution programs), teachers, and counselors.

The Anger Management Program describes;

1. A definition of anger management.

2. The causes of anger, both obvious and those less so.

3. The effects of this emotion; physical and emotional, as well as the thoughts that accompany it.

4. Anger Management Techniques, both those to diminish the intensity of this feeling(de-escalators) and those used to express it are provided.

5. Situations will be developed to which these methods can be applied.

6. A summary and evaluation process will take place.
