About Anger Solutions

The Anger Solutions™ Program was developed by Julie Christiansen over 4 years of study and practical use. It has been delivered to various agencies across Ontario for over 9 years, and is currently in use by various corrections-based, addictions and recovery, and social service agencies in communities in Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and the Caribbean. The program has 11 modules and is designed to run as an 10 or 12 week program (with one week for intake procedures) for either groups or individuals. Anger Solutions is in demand worldwide, and is currently expanding to Western Canada. Our clients are from all over the world from India to South Africa, to right here at home.

Amazingly Successful!
The success rate of this program is exceptional (consistently higher than 80% over 15 years), and for all committed participants who complete and follow through on the processes, there is a marked increase in quality of life as a result of fewer occurrences of undesired “angry” behaviours, incorporation of more appropriate methods for expressing anger, improved communication skills, increased employability, and higher assertiveness levels.

For several of our clients, we have also noted a reduction in recidivism for criminal behaviour, decrease in dependence on chemical substances, a significant increase in self-esteem, and a better mastery of life skills.
