A 16-week anger management class is often required in the US as part of probation or following a sentence for violations such as assault, domestic violence, harassment, and threatening behavior. This can include family court proceedings requiring a completion of a 16-week anger management training, employers demanding such a course as part of the terms of employment, or mental health professionals recommending such a course due to a diagnosis.
The requirements of these authorities typically include completing a 16-week course that consists of lectures, assessments and assignments. It covers topics such as understanding emotions, controlling anger, developing assertiveness and communication skills, stress management, and finding healthy ways to cope with difficult situations. Completion of the course is usually required to fulfill probationary or court orders as well as for continued mental health treatment plans.
