Monday Anger Management Blues
Mondays are the biggest day of the week for anger management class enrollment. Our call volume increases about 10% right after the weekend. Sometimes inquiries about anger management courses increase 20% if the Monday follows a holiday weekend.
There are a several reasons why we see an increased interest in anger management on Mondays:
1. Drugs and Alcohol
People drink more on the weekend. Alcohol consumption can have a direct relation to aggression. Many of our clients are referred to us after making poor decisions when under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.
2. Family Violence
People spend more time with family on the weekend. Unfortanately the majority of anger management students enter our classes because of family issues. A family who is having problems spend more time together on the weekend and often find themselves saying or doing something they regret later. On Monday morning many families are desperate to seek help.
3. Sporting Events
America loves its sports, sometimes too much. The weekend is full of opportunities to cheer your favorite team or go into a rage when they don’t perform the way you want them to. On mondays we receive quite a few jail house calls from people who lost it in the bleachers or on the court.
4. Court Dates
Many of our clients have appointments to see the judge on Monday mornings. Those who procrastinate are in a desparate race to enroll in a court ordered anger management course to avoid jail time.
