The Anderson & Anderson model of anger management is the most effective and widely recognized curriculum in the world. This model, which has been featured in Los Angeles Times Magazine, focuses on enhancing emotional intelligence and assertive communication skills while introducing behavior strategies for identifying and managing anger and stress. Their certification training and approved provider list are the industry standards and dominate the internet.

On February 24 through 26 of 2010, George Anderson, the Anger Management Guru, will be providing a three-day live training seminar that will prepare individuals to facilitate anger management groups and provide anger management intervention through their own practices. Each participant who pays for and attends all three days will receive forty hours of anger management certification training. The Anderson & Anderson staff will provide all of the training material, and each participant will be guided through the training process in an interactive-group format.

The First day of training will focus on Adolescent Anger Management and will use the Anderson workbook “Controlling Ourselves” as the text. A demonstration and discussion of the Conover Assessment Component will be conducted. This part of the three day training is designed for Nurses, School Counselors/Psychologists, Substance Abuse Counselors, Case Managers, HR Managers, Clinicians, Probation Officers, as well as staff from group homes, and agencies serving families and youth. This curriculum is currently being used in school districts in Los Angeles, Oakland, Sacramento, Concord and San Diego. It has also been introduced and incorporated in school districts in Texas and Louisiana. In addition, probation departments in Arizona, Kansas, California and Texas use this model.

On the Second day, Anger Management for older and of-age individuals will be examined. A demonstration of the Conover Assessment will be conducted with a discussion of its usefulness. “Gaining Control of Ourselves,” in conjunction with experiential exercises and videos, will be used to initiate the participants to this intervention. Most major corporations have accepted this model for use by H.R. and EAP Managers.

The Third day of Training is Organizational Emotional Intelligence/ Anger Management. This training is designed to prepare the participant to offer workshops or presentations regarding anger management, civility or emotional intelligence in a small group format. This is rapidly becoming one of the most requested interventions in anger management. This training has been conducted for Kaiser Permanente of Southern California, the Riverside County Medical Association, as well as the Illinois State Bar Association. Participants who attend all three days of this training will receive a free CD containing a 16 hour course on Motivational Interviewing. This, in addition to the above three days, will give the participant 40 hours of Facilitator Certification Training.

This three-day training meets the first requirement for individuals and businesses that want to be added to the Anderson & Anderson Anger Management Court Providers List for Los Angeles County, as well as the Anderson & Anderson Nationwide Business Providers List. Anderson & Anderson staff will be able to answer specific questions for anyone who wants to be added to these lists. Anderson & Anderson encourages those who are interested to contact the Anderson & Anderson corporate headquarters by phone and visit their company web site.
