Count to Ten

For caregivers of children and youth birth-18 years | Parenting can be an emotional roller coaster. At times it is full of joy and other times it can be frustrating and overwhelming. Sometimes parents feel angry– which is normal. But how anger is expressed and managed is the key. This group is designed to support parents and caregivers in understanding how anger is affecting their life. A variety of anger management strategies are examined, to find healthy ways to express anger and strengthen the caregiver/child relationship. Please note this group has an educational/strategies-based focus and is not an anger-management support group.
