Anger Management Classes: How to Get the Most for your Money?

Anger Management classes can vary greatly in both price and quality. How does the consumer know what to pay for a quality anger management class. Does low cost mean poor quality? Does high price mean exceptional quality? There may be exceptions in either instance. As a general guide, anger management classes should be “reasonably” priced. What does reasonable mean? Reasonable is based on what other anger management courses cost in a given geographic region as well as courses offered by those with similar education, experience and training. Those with less experience or who are new in business might charge less simply to bring more customers to their business, but the quality of the program may be lacking. Others who charge more may do so because their expertise has been honed in for many years and the quality of their program is top notch.

In general, rather than just simply shopping anger management programs for price, shop them for quality, expertise, experience, years in business, and program format. We have seen live anger management classes range from $20 a class session all the way up to $65 a class session. With online anger management classes, the price is more difficult to determine because prices are usually listed for the TOTAL cost of the class and not by class session. In general, if an 8 week class were to cost $35 per session, the total cost of the class would be $280.00 plus an enrollment free and possibly a material fee. This might make the class cost $350 total. In contrast a quality online anger management class might cost closer to $10-$20 a class session. In this case, an 8 hour online anger management class might cost about $195.00 making it a better value overall, but a totally different experience.

So, how do you get the most value for your money? Simply decide which format you want to take, either live or online, then decide what amount seems reasonable to you. Ask yourself the questions we posted above regarding quality, expertise, experience, years in business, and program format and you should be able to make a good informed decision.

Anger Management Expert, Dr. Ari Novick featured on CNN News

Dr. Ari Novick was featured on CNN’s network show Issues with Jane Valez-Mitchell as their anger management panel expert covering the recent Jet Blue incident involving the airline flight attendant who lost his cool.

While some of the panel members argued the flight attendant did the right thing by fighting back against a rude passenger by making this “statement” , most would agree it his behavior was totally inappropriate.

While venting feels extremely good in the moment, it often has a huge cost. In the case of Mr. Slater, the Jet Blue flight attendant, he not only lost his job, but is now under investigation with criminal charges pending.

Flight attendants are under an enormous amount of stress, and this incident speaks loudly and clearly for airlines to put their flight attendants through anger management classes and training.

Flight attendance simply do not get trained in how to better manage their own stress more effectively. Prevention is key. We gladly invite the FAA to contact our agency to discuss how such training could be implemented.

Anger management classes could SAVE your marriage

Anger is one of the most powerful emotions of the human experience. Anger in many ways tells us we are alive but the behavior that follows can often be destructive and damaging to others. Bad behavior, most notibly abusive language and hostile behavior is one of the most common complaints I receive when providing anger management counseling to couples. Either one or both partners style of communication and lack of empathy has eroded the confidence of their partner to the point where they are ready to leave them.

Here are some common signals that it might be time to take an anger management class to help save your marriage:

1. Your partner feels the need to lie to you for fear you might blow up if you told the truth
2. Disagreements escalate quickly and easily even regarding the most mundane topics
3. Your partner has told you that if it weren’t for having kids s/he would leave you
4. Your partner has asked you to move out or leave due to your angry outbursts
5. Your children are scared of you
6. Your partner is scared of you
7. You are unable to make positive changes to your interactions despite how hard you try
8. You have already been court required to take an anger management class
9. You feel out of control and often lack the ability to do the right thing when you do get upset
10. Other loved ones complain about your anger and no longer seek your friendship or time

So before you go and throw in the towel, take a quality anger management course from a well trained, licensed or certified provider. It could make all the difference as to whether your marriage survives or fails.

Anger Management Classes: Your Guide to Understanding these Programs

Anger management classes can vary greatly. I have written on this topic many times before, and I am constantly baffled every time I peruse the Internet and see what pops up. I think that only the savviest of consumers can really tell what programs are going to be helpful and which ones might just be a bunch of hot air. Below is a short and easy guide to follow to help figure out if the program your interested in might be worthwhile:

1. Does the program use a quality curriculum that has been used or approved by any governmental agency?
2. Is the course offered by a licensed or professional certified anger management provider?
3. If you’re looking at an online anger management class, don’t just shop for price, look at what the programs consists of and who is offering it. Does the program and format look to be of substance?
4. How long has the organization been in business and do they have any testimonials from previous clients?
5. Does the program cover skills in the following areas: Assertive communication, stress management, expectation management, empathy, improving judgment and impulse control, taking time outs, forgiveness, learning to respond instead of react, increasing skills in optimism?
6. Can the program credentials be verified?
7. Are there metrics to understand what is going to be learned?
8. Do they provide quality customer care and is the administrator of the program readily available?
9. If for a court or legal requirement, make sure the program is acceptable in your county or state
10. Go with your gut. If something doesn’t feel right, look at another program.

The journey to gaining skills in anger management is a life long lesson, but finding the right foundation can make all the difference.
