About this Event

This session is a stand alone CPD session or can be paired with the Managing Automatic Anger session on 14th June 2024.

Do you see anger presented in your service from clients? Anger is a healthy, human emotion but it is also associated with many mental health conditions and may be a defence mechanism for other concerns. Anger can be a barrier to accessing support, potentially worsening someone’s wellbeing, relationships, employment and life overall. Few mental health services provide anger specific interventions; this session focuses on understanding anger, how to help clients recognise it and manage the emotion using Psychoeducation and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

This session is aimed at anyone working in health and social care with adults
