Certified Anger Management II Program (13 Weeks)
Our 13‑week Anger Management II Program is an intensive, evidence‑based intervention designed for individuals who need deeper behavioral change and higher‑level accountability.
Unlike short‑term classes, this program focuses on advanced emotional regulation, impulse control, accountability, and long‑term behavior modification. Courts and probation departments commonly order this program in lieu of an assault charge, as part of a domestic‑related case, or when a participant's history indicates the need for more structured intervention.
