What the live class adds to what you already know.

Two hours with a specialist, every week.

Your instructor teaches every class live and takes your questions. Nothing to read alone, nothing graded.

Practice, not review.

Each week takes one skill from the course — your warning signs, the pause, saying what you need — and works it live with real situations from your week.

A small group of adults who get it.

Camera on, first names only. Some are there for a court, most are there for themselves.

What a live
class looks like.

A live lesson. A group conversation. Time to practice a different response.

Settle in and join

Open your personal Zoom link on your phone, tablet, or computer. Keep your camera on so your instructor can confirm attendance.

Learn with your group

Your instructor teaches one topic and leads discussion and guided exercises, such as recognizing a trigger or expressing a need calmly.

Take a skill into your week

Each two-hour class stands on its own. The following week, you return for another topic and more practice.

Classes are live and aren’t recorded.

What the classes cover.

Twelve topics rotate, one per week. Every class stands on its own, so you can join any Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday or Sunday and stay for as many weeks as you like.

Understanding Anger and Anger Management

Explore how anger differs from aggression, and learn to notice the body and thinking cues that signal it's building. You'll practice a simple breathing technique to create room before you react.

Motivation and Commitment to Change

Weigh the real costs and benefits of your current patterns, then connect your goals to values that matter to you. You'll leave with a plan for days when motivation runs low.

Assertive Communication

Learn to state what you observe, need, and will do next in clear, respectful language instead of demands or silence. You'll practice listening, acknowledging another person's view, and setting a boundary calmly.

Changing Thoughts That Fuel Anger

Notice how automatic thoughts can speed anger up, and practice checking those thoughts against the evidence before you act. You'll build a more balanced take on tough situations without ignoring real unfairness.

Anger and Healthy Relationships

Look at relationship patterns in family, work, and friendship conflicts, and learn how a boundary differs from control. You'll practice acknowledging impact on others while staying accountable for your own behavior.

Developing an Anger Management Plan

Put your own warning signs and coping strategies into one plan that matches your response to how intense things get. You'll write if-then steps and a way to recover after a setback.

Mindfulness: Creating Space Before Responding

Practice noticing thoughts, feelings, and urges as they arise, without acting on them right away. You'll try a short breathing or grounding exercise and build a pause before your next move.

The Anger Cycle: Cues, Escalation, and Consequences

Map the sequence from an early cue to escalation to what follows, and find the points where a different response is still possible. You'll see how short-term relief can reinforce a pattern.

Conflict Resolution and Problem Solving

Learn to define one problem, generate several options, and choose the most workable one, not just the first idea. You'll build an agreement with clear follow-through and a date to revisit it.

Calming the Body and Nervous System

Understand how the body reacts to stress and practice ways to bring it down, from breathing to grounding to movement. You'll write a break-and-return plan for when you need to step away.

Substance Use, Anger, and Coping

Look at how alcohol and other substances can affect judgment, sleep, and conflict, and why relief can keep a pattern going. You'll identify replacement coping options and when to reach for support.

Individualized Anger Management and Motivation Plan

Pull your warning signs, calming tools, thinking checks, and communication skills into one plan built for you. You'll set a 30-day action step, a way to handle setbacks, and a review date.

Start weekly plan

One excused absence included · Certificate states the weeks you attended

Weekly: Week 1 is charged when you enroll. Each following week is charged automatically 24 hours before its class, until your weeks are paid. Cancel anytime from your class page and future charges stop. Weeks already charged aren't refunded, except week 1 if you cancel more than 24 hours before your first class. Upfront: Weeks you haven't used are refundable, pro-rated. Joining more than 10 minutes after class starts, or leaving more than 10 minutes before its scheduled end, is marked Partial, which counts as a missed week. Keep your camera on, with your face visible, for the whole class. That's how your instructor confirms you attended. Adults 18 and older.

Questions
alumni ask.

Do I have to redo the intake or make a new account?

No. You sign in with the same email you used for your course. Before your first class there is a one-time orientation of about 30 minutes and a short acknowledgment, then your Join button appears an hour before class.

What if I only want to try a class or two?

Choose the weekly plan: $45 a week. Week 1 is charged when you enroll. Each following week is charged automatically 24 hours before its class, until your weeks are paid. Cancel anytime from your class page and future charges stop. Weeks already charged aren't refunded, except week 1 if you cancel more than 24 hours before your first class.

What if I miss a week?

Your enrollment includes one excused absence. Each further missed week uses one of your purchased weeks; to keep attending you buy a make-up week from your class page. A class Courseable cancels never counts against you.

Do I have to be on camera?

Yes. Keep your camera on, with your face visible, for the whole class. That's how your instructor confirms you attended. If your instructor can't see you and you don't turn your camera on when asked, you're marked Partial. If they never see you on camera, you're marked Absent. Classes aren't recorded, and you may not record, screenshot or share them.

Is this therapy?

No. It is an educational class taught by a Certified Anger Management Specialist — practical skills, practiced in a group. It is not therapy, counseling or a diagnosis. If you are in crisis, call or text 988.

Do I get anything at the end?

Yes — a certificate that states the weeks you attended, confirmed by your instructor at roll call, with an online verification code, plus your week-by-week attendance record. If you ever need it for a court, it is accepted nationwide or your money back.

Can I add weeks later?

Yes, from your class page. On the weekly plan your plan simply runs longer; on the upfront plan you pay the difference.
