10-week class that will teach you what anger is, where it comes from, and how to manage it.
Anger can come from, or cause, stress and/or depression and it can make you FAT! Or at least lose or gain weight.
· Two class times available.
Thursday nights from 7:00 to 9:00, Room C4 or
Wednesday morning from 9:00 to 11:00, Room D3.
· Classes taught at MDUSD Adult Education.
· Loma Vista Adult Center. 1266 San Carlos Ave. (enter on Cowell rd.), Concord.
Anger does not need to be violent to be a problem. Everyone has anger, even those who don’t show it. If you are angry, you have a problem. Try as you might you can never make your anger someone else’s problem. If you try, they will leave you. Or, worse yet, they will send you away, never to return. Either way, you lose.
So what can you do about it? The first step is to get educated and learn what your parents never knew and didn’t teach you. The next step is to teach your children about it so you don’t pass your anger on. Yes, that’s right; Anger is inherited and is passed on from generation to generation. Do you really want to do that to your kids and the people around you? Here is a great idea; bring your spouse, stop fighting and fall in love again. This can bring a whole new meaning to making your spouse hot! (You’ll thank me for it)

Class meets Court Ordered Anger Management education.
· This is a continuing class with 10 rolling sessions so you can
join the class at any time and you won’t miss anything.
· There is a $50 charge for the entire 10 weeks($5 per night)
· No registration required. Just show up and go to room C4 (promise it will not blow up).

Unit 1 - Anger Awareness – Everyone has anger. It is a healthy emotion. What you do with it is the problem. Even if you stuff it inside it is still there and can ruin your life.
Unit 2 - Anger, Hostility and Your Health – Live longer and happier. Anger and stress can kill you. It can also make you gain weight. Find out how much anger you have and how potential a problem it is.
Unit 3 – Anger Triggers and Expression – What makes you angry? How does it look to the people around you? What can you do about it?
Unit 4 – Positive Communication – Anger comes from conflict. Conflict must be resolved in order to get over the anger. Resolving conflict requires positive communication.
Unit 5 – Family Conflict – Every family has conflict and therefore anger.
What, if anything, can you do about it?
Unit 6 – Stress Management – A big part of anger comes from stress and stress can kill you. It can also make you gain weight or lose weight. Anger, stress and depression go together. So how do you handle stress and how can you handle it better?
Unit 7 – Conflict Resolution – When conflict, and therefore anger, happens, what are ways that the conflict can be resolved. Without the resolution of conflict the anger will never be under control or manageable.
Unit 8 – Survival Skills – You don’t have to stuff your feelings in order to manage your anger. Manage your anger with these survival skills.
Unit 9 – Coping Strategies – Why am I so angry and what keeps my anger going? What can I do to cope with my angry feelings?
Unit 10 – An Individual Plan for Anger Management and Control – Summary and Personal Plan.

Disclaimer: This posting has not been placed by Sharon or the MDUSD. I am a past attendee of this class and found it more valuable than any 52-week program offered anywhere and better than the expensive private programs and therapists.
There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us.
