What’s the difference between Anger Solutions and anger management?

 

The Anger Solutions™ program has a proven track record, having been in use by a variety of agencies for over 10 years. The program combines the best of several evidence-based practices including CBT, REBT, Reality Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. The tools we use to measure program success include the Anger Solutions™ Intake and Exit survey (pre- and post-test), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Clinical Anger Scale. Results from our outcome measures show a consistent increase in self esteem for all AS participants, a reduction or elimination of target behaviours, a reduction in alcohol dependency and risk-taking behaviours. We also note a link between AS and one’s ability to master basic lifeskills. Our success rate over 12 years has remained consistently above 80% (that is to say of all the participants who complete the program, over 80% of them experience and maintain the outcome measures described above). With the Anger Solutions Coaching Program, our success rate so far is 100%.

 

 

 

Not yet. In our first 10 years, the focus was on program delivery and refinement, not research. We are currently conducting several pilot projects within our Authorized Provider agencies, as well as working on research papers that will be introduced for publication in the near future.

 

 

 

The program was originally created for people with SMIs (Severe Mental Illness) but has been adapted and used successfully in the following settings:

-          Acquired Brain Injury (1 on 1)

-          Addictions

-          Community Corrections (both adult and youth, and female corrections programs)

-          Family counseling

-          Marriage/couples counseling

-          Individual coaching

-          School/Educational settings

 

The primary 3 targets for using Anger Solutions™ in a group setting are:

-          Addictions

-          Corrections

-          Mental Health

 

 

Absolutely not! This program is highly adaptive, and is now available in a coaching format, which is ideal for people who would rather receive one-on-one service as opposed to attending a group. You can also partake in our TransformED Coaching live, or by phone, and this incorporates Anger Solutions along with two of our other extremely successful programs, Getting Past Your Past, and Stress Busters.
