Anger and Emotional Management
Anger Management Working Group for Mothers
This group is designed for women whose anger is harmful to them or their families. Women who inappropriately direct their anger at their children, who have difficulty maintaining a job because of outbursts, or who are at risk of loosing housing because of an inability to control their anger are all encouraged to take part in this work group.
Anger Management is a 12-week program that addresses what anger is, what it looks like, anger and parenting, why we choose anger, the origin of anger, ideas for dealing with anger, communicating effectively, anger and addiction, anger and boundary development, and taking care of self. Providing parents with tools to express feelings in a productive and appropriate manner facilitates their ability to foster a nurturing environment for their children and maintain stability within the home. Addressing anger issues also helps women address conflicts on the job, with landlords, and with neighbors productively.

We Have Feelings: Emotional Management for Children
This twelve-week program is specifically directed at the large population of 8 -12 year-olds in residence at the Elizabeth Stone House. The goal of the program is to help our children recognize conflict and develop the skills to defuse it. The hope is that these children will be able to carry the techniques learned into their family life, school and the community. Additionally, this group attempts to change the dynamics of interpersonal relationships among the younger residents at the Stone House and to give them the skills to express their emotions in healthy ways.
