What makes our anger management classes different?

We often receive calls from searching clients who ask, “What makes your anger management class different?” I must admit there are a variety of opportunists and para-professionals who claim they are experts in the field of anger management. The business has been described as a “profitable business niche” by some who hock anger management facilitator certificates with any one with a blank check and wide eyes.      

 When searching for an anger management course there a few important questions you should ask?

 What experience do you have?

There is no governing body that monitors the field of anger management. Some who provide the service may have a limited education and limited experience. Daybreak Counseling Service only hires people who have Master Degrees in Counseling, Psychology or Marriage Family Therapy. In addition our instructors have both group counseling and individual counseling experience.

 What is your hiring process?

 Daybreak Counseling Service has an extensive vetting process before contracting with an anger management instructor. The CEO at Daybreak Counseling Service reviews a large volume of resumes and selects the cream of the crop before he conducts an initial phone interview. Candidates are screened for availability, proximity to the teaching environment and passion.

 After the phone interview candidates are invited to a face to face interview with the CEO of Daybreak and the general manager. The candidate is assessed for the level of comfort with working with a sensitive or temperamental population. They are questioned about their motives for working with the public as a helping professional.          

Phase Three of the interview process involves a mock group interview. 3-5 extremely qualified candidates are invited to facilitate a mock group. The candidates are judged for their enthusiasm and how well they articulate the lesson. We are especially interested in if the candidate is a good fit for the particular anger management location they are bidding for as each location has its own unique “personality”.     

 What are your fees?

 The cost of an anger management class varies widely. Be sure to ask if the fees are comparable to other agencies in the area. You may want to question the quality of the organization if the class is too inexpensive. If you find a class who requires an arm an a leg to join you may want to question the motives of that organization.

Location, Location, Location

A major reason clients stop attending there anger management class is due to transportation issues. When you lack the motivation to get help traveling to a location far for you place of residence or employment can be extremely inconvenient. When considering what agency to attend always choose a location near you. Daybreak Counseling Service has weekly classes in the cities ofGardena,Santa Monica,Yorba Linda and Pasadena.
