ANGER MANAGEMENT AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PROGRAM
PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY
Violence is never appropriate during conflict, regardless of the circumstances. Domestic violence and all types of abuse are destructive forces which reduce the quality of family life, and dehumanize and degrade both the victim, perpetrator, and children. Domestic violence is also a crime, to which society responds with serious concern and legal consequences. Fortunately, violence is a learned behavior which can be changed if an individual is willing to admit their problem and accept education and counseling. It is possible to learn healthy ways of expressing feelings and managing anger. Except for legitimate self-defense, the use of force is never acceptable. Any individual who engages in violent or any other abusive behavior should be held accountable.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
