26-week anger management classes are sometimes mandated when a person has committed or been accused of committing an act of aggression or violence. Generally, the classes must be completed over no less than 26 weeks which is the basic difference from the hourly programs that can be completed in the set amount of hours at your own pace.
In the United States, judges in criminal court proceedings may order individuals to attend 26-week anger management courses as part of their sentence in order to address issues related to the incident in question. Additionally, school districts sometimes require students who have displayed aggressive behavior to attend such classes. Intimate partners might also refer each other to anger management programs during divorce proceedings or due to other forms of conflict in the relationship. Lastly, employers might recommend employees attend such courses if they are seen as displaying unprofessional behavior due to unresolved issues related to anger.
The main objective of this program is to teach participants how to identify their own stress and anger reactions and how to better control them by learning healthy coping skills like deep breathing, meditation, exercise, effective communication, and problem-solving methods. It also teaches participants how to build better relationships with friends and family members that are based on mutual understanding and respect.
Being 100% online, semi-self-paced and without any hidden costs, the 26-week course is a good choice for meeting legal and employer requirements.
