Anger management for children ages 7-18. Groups will be formed based on age. They will start June 24 and run for six weeks on Tuesdays.
The objectives of this group are:
*Understand anger triggers

ways, and are overall happier.

literacy through various activities. Group will meet 1x a week on Tuesday evenings and last for six weeks
Group objectives:
*Define emotional literacy
*Identify factors that impact ability to understand emotions in ourselves and
Others
