You can tell a teenager not to be angry. Or you can show him how to be angry. RAGE, an award-winning anger management course for youth aged 11-17, can be adapted to serve younger children as well. Created by Kenneth Nathan and Carol Musgrave while working for Richmond Community Services, RAGE is a strengths-based, solution-focused program. Ken’s hands-on, practical approach trains adult professionals to run the program directly with youth.
Facilitator training is one day, 5-6 hours. A typical youth program runs 2 hours per week for 6 weeks.
(This is not a train-the-trainer model of instruction. Ken asks that all youth programs are led by a facilitator trained directly by him.)
Youth sessions, approximately 2 hours per week:
1: Many Faces of Anger
2: The 4T’s Anger Cycle
3: Healthy Expressions of Anger
4: Beyond the Guilt of Anger
5: Relaxation, Exercise, and Diet
6: Review, Celebrate, Evaluate
