Often educators and youth workers say “Students have changed! Why are they are so angry?!” It seems that students today are angrier, more depressed and stressed out than ever, but so are adults!
Second Wind staff facilitates professional development training using RESEARCH BASED strategies which work with middle and high school youth. Second Wind specializes in Anger Management, Bullying Prevention Strategies, De-escalating Conflict and Diversity in the Classroom. These training are based on Cognitive Behavioral and Reality Therapy principles that have proven to be success with difficult students. We have worked with angry, aggressive, bullying students in residential treatment, public schools and charter schools.

My brother recommended I would possibly like this blog. He was totally right. This put up truly made my day. You cann’t believe just how a lot time I had spent for this info! Thank you!
Glad to know that this was helpful to you. There are as many angry adults as there are angry students! As a matter of fact, according to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal ” a few state bar associations now require “civility training” for lawyers renewing their licenses. And last year, hospitals must have programs for “disruptive” physicians as a condition for accreditation. Managing anger is a learned skill, and some folks still have yet to master it!

I was wondering if these techniques work with juveniles who are incarcerated? They go to school in a non-traditional way. They are scholled at the facility. The atmosphere is charged and can get volitile and these students do have anger management issues.
Sheila, yes, these strategies work even with youth who are incarcerated. As an example, much of the work I do in anger management is from Reality Therapy which were created by Dr. William Glasser in a juvenile detention center. Also, check out the Equip model by Granville Bud Potter. This model is specifically for incarcerated youth. The chapter on thinking errors is along the lines of the Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy work I do with youth as well. Hope this helps!
