Anger Management-adults
8-week certificate class focusing on how both the environment and genetics contribute to our anger style. Understanding our "world view" the way we perceive situations, the development of our core beliefs, fight or flight, (brain wiring) and then strategies to change the brain's wiring and ultimately the way we react to charged situations. A strong focus of class is on resolving relationship conflicts peacefully (work, home and the unexpected.) Using a model of shifting the way we think to a more flexible view of the world. Identifying thinking errors and challenging held beliefs about ourselves and the world at large.

Parenting Class
8-week, certificate class focusing on child development, (ages and stages) effective communication styles, discipline and child safety. The class is taught from an authoritative parenting model including using empathy while being firm and fair, consistent and attentive. Content is consistent with the American Academy of Pediatrics and publications from Elaine Mazlish and Adele Farber on using empathy with children. Turning a view of "misbehavior" into a view of having "unmet need's." Parents examine the way they were parented to break through negative patterns and replace with more effective ones.
