This resource aims to support pupils who have difficulties managing strong feelings and managing their behaviour. It develops self-belief about the ability to change and equips pupils with the skills to change.

The anger management resource is a complete set of materials to enable a facilitator to deliver a six-week programme. It has been designed to cover eight elements, which fit within a 6-week half-term of weekly sessions.

Resource sessions:

Week 1: Session 1 Understanding anger

Week 2: Session 2 Understanding feelings & Session 3 Self–esteem

Week 3: Session 4 Triggers and fuses

Week 4: Session 5 Learning to think differently 

Week 5: Session 6 Physiology and relaxation

Week 6: Session 7 Strategies to manage anger & Session 8 Review and reinforce

The programme uses CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy) principals to show that by changing the thought and the feeling, the behaviour can change.
