This collection of ten session plans covers every aspect of running an anger management programme with students aged 11-16. By linking to emotional literacy, students will learn the skills of self-awareness, self-management, impulse control, active listening, empathy, understanding of non-verbal cues, conflict resolution, and mediation. The ultimate aim is to elicit in participants an optimistic outlook, a better focus, and acceptance of other people and how they are. Central to the programme is how to deal with angry outbursts–known as "emotional hijacks"–both pre- and post-hijack. Each lesson plan details the aim, resources required, and method, and is also accompanied by reproducible student and teacher sheets.
