RELAX: Alternatives to Anger
RELAX is an evidence-based curriculum that is being used in several other states as well as across Tennessee. It actively engages adult learners in a group setting to increase knowledge and skills around anger management and give them constructive ways to deal with anger. Aspects of promoting social emotional health are woven throughout the training and include expressing emotions, navigating stress, resolving interpersonal conflict, taking another’s perspective, feeling capable and whole and building skills for forming and maintaining satisfying, healthy and supportive relationships. It is a series of 4 classes that are each 2 hours long and is a reoccurring class every other month. Pre-registration is required.
