Anger management teaches students to define, recognize, and control their own anger.
Violence is seen as a momentary outburst of anger. Feeling angry at times is normal, but acting out anger in appropriate ways is not. Anger management focuses on alternative ways of behaving in response to anger. Conflict resolution education is a learning process that helps individuals understand conflict dynamics and empowers them to use communication and creative thinking to manage and resolve conflicts fairly and peacefully. Students are taught to use assertive communication, rather than passive or aggressive communication.
