Feeling frustrated dealing
with your teen’s anger issues? Is your teenager feeling isolated, lonely
and unsure of how to cope with his/her own anger? Take advantage of a new
resource available for high school students to deal with anger. Resolve
Community Counseling Center, a non-profit mental health care service, will
offer an Anger Management Group for Teens, meeting on Monday nights,
November 14, 2011 through December 19, 2011, from 7:00 pm to 8:15 pm at
Resolve’s offices, 1830 Front Street, Scotch Plains, NJ 07076. To register,
please call Resolve at 908-322-9180.
As teenagers struggle to grow
into adults, inner conflicts can erupt in anger. Anger Management for Teens
will help kids to understand their angry feelings and strengthen their inner
voice. This program delivers the skills necessary to recognize negative
communication and to address others in constructive and effective ways.
Sessions will focus on differentiating between anger and aggression;
expressing one’s anger assertively and directly; coping with peer and
parental conflicts; recognizing behaviors that trigger anger and derail
communication; and dealing with other people’s criticism and anger.
Steve S. Rakipi, CSW,
and Dashua Hinton, MS will facilitate the group. While working at the
Jewish Board Family and Children’s Services, Steve S. Rakipi counseled
adolescents individually and in groups, and he has been an adjunct professor
at New York University’s graduate school of social work. Dashua Hinton is a
licensed rehabilitation counselor who works with teenagers at JFK Medical
Center.
