Anger Management and Health Insurance

Although most anger management programs are moderately priced many potential clients often ask if anger management classes are covered by health insurance. The short answer is probably not.

Anger Management is not therapy and therefore can not be coded by many health insurance providers. There may be some exceptions. The public has heard a great deal of information about cadallac health insurance plans. Often these plans are much more flexible in the type of treatments they cover.

Anger Management is considered education. An anger management class teaches skills in which you can learn to manage your anger better. These skills included learning to communicate assertively, adjusting expectations and forgiveness.

Because an anger management course is skills based you may be able to use it as a business expense on your taxes. Learning to communicate effectively and learning stress management techniques are crucials skills needed for your personal life and your business.

Help for your teenager or young adult- YOU

The Change of Course (COC) Parent and Educator Training is designed to teach parents, counselors and teachers how to communicate and effect change in teenagers and young adults who exhibit disrepectful, violent and criminal behavior.

The news is in. We know how to treat delinquncy in young people. Evidenced based programs are being implemented in juvenile halls, juvenile camps, prisons and counseling programs throughout the country, but no one is telling parents and teachers how to modify the behavior of their own children.

The old adage you can give someone a fish or teach them to fish rings true here. Why would you send your child to a boot camp or counseling program to fix be “fixed”. If you could do it yourself?

The first day of training focuses on learning a communication style that is directive and designed to ellicit change in young people. Day one also includes an introduction to 8 part curriculum formulated to reduce ambivalence to change and motivate delinquent teens and young adults to make better decisions.

On day two and three of the training a tripartite cognitive behavior model will be examined. An overview of this model will introduce participants to the following techniques:

• A way of directing delinquent teens and young adults to examine their own moral compasses. This technique is designed to increase empathy for others as well as develop reasoning skills for troubled youth.

• A systematic view of anger and violence. This model explores the origins of anger and gives concrete ways in which young people can reduce verbal aggression as well as physical.

• An examination of social skill deficits. This module introduces participants to a method of teaching basic social skills to their children, students or clients. Many young people continue to display problem behavior in school or at home because they lack basic skills such as “How to apologize” How to express feelings”, or “How to make a complaint” etc.

Triggers, Pet Peaves and Offenses

Triggers, pet peaves and offenses. What gets your goat? What makes you mad. If you are able to answer these questions you have discovered an initial clue to anger management.

When we take the time to find out what we don’t like we are getting a better pitcure of who we are as people. The things that make you mad are often the things you are passionate about.

If you hate being late most likely you are passionate about productivity or the time you spend with others.

If you can’t stand to look at someone being abused or mistreated by others you may be an advocate, a defender of what is just.

The trick is to look at what angers you and let it propel you to action. Healthy and assertive expression of anger is just what we need to get the job done.
