This best-selling gender-responsive, trauma-informed anger management and violence prevention program is now revised and expanded for women and gender-diverse people

Beyond Anger and Violence+ is a 52-hour curriculum for women and gender-diverse people in community settings, such as outpatient and residential substance use disorder treatment programs, domestic violence shelters, and mental health clinics, who are struggling with the issue of anger. This was the first intervention program developed for women focusing on anger, as well as the trauma they may have experienced. The updated and expanded Beyond Anger and Violence+ program has five additional sessions and is inclusive of gender diversity. It utilizes a variety of evidence-based therapeutic strategies, such as psycho-education, role-playing, mindfulness activities, cognitive behavioral restructuring, and grounding skills for trauma triggers. By using this material, you will help the participants to explore the roles of anger and violence in their lives, recognize their strengths, and develop the skills needed to manage their emotions in healthy ways.

Included in this package are: - THE FACILITATOR GUIDE provides the theory, structure, and content needed to facilitate the 26-session Beyond Anger and Violence+ program. The guide provides an overall description of the program, step-by-step instructions for effectively conducting each group session, and What I Want My Words to Do to You, an award-winning documentary DVD about a women’s writing group in prison. Viewers of the DVD find courage and hope in the stories the women share.

- THE PARTICIPANT WORKBOOK is designed to allow participants to process, record, and reflect on their group experience. They can use this workbook to review session content, express their thoughts and reactions, and complete activities during and after sessions. In addition, it helps participants develop new skills, including communication, conflict resolution, de-escalation strategies, decision-making, child-nurturing, and self-soothing techniques.
