How to Find an Anger Management Class

An inability to control anger can lead to the destruction of interpersonal relationships, loss of employment and even jail time. When a person is unable to control rage---a condition sometimes referred to as ''seeing red''--it is time to seek professional help. NAMA, or the National Anger Management Association, is a nonprofit organization that trains students and teachers alike. Finding a class on anger management through this respected organization is easy to do.

Tips & Warnings

• Seek help if you find yourself lashing out, unable to control your rage. This is not normal behavior and should be treated by a specialist.
• Ask for support from your loved ones. Admitting you need help may not be easy, but it can help in the long run.
• Be aware of your rights. If you seek counseling for anger management, the information you share during your sessions will remain confidential unless your counselor feels you pose a threat to someone.
