Course introduction

To equip school and college staff with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to understand, manage, and support anger-related behaviours in children and young people. This one-day live online accredited training provides a practical and psychological framework for recognising the roots and triggers of anger, de-escalating challenging situations, and delivering a structured, evidence-informed anger management programme in both group and 1:1 settings.

Throughout the day, participants will explore the core content, strategies, and psychological foundations of the 10-session anger management programme in an engaging and applied way. Dedicated time at the end of the training will focus on the programme’s structure, delivery format, and practical implementation in school and college settings.
