About Anger Management Facilitator Training
Anger Management is an evidenced-based cognitive behavioral therapy program for individuals with substance use disorders and mental health disorders. It is authored by Patrick M. Reilly, Ph.D., and Michael S. Shopshire, Ph.D., of the San Francisco Treatment Research Center.
Substance use and abuse often coexist with anger and violence. Data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s National Household Survey on Drug Abuse, for example, indicated that 40 percent of frequent cocaine users reported engaging in some form of violent behavior. Anger and violence often can have a causal role in the initiation of drug and alcohol use and can also be a consequence associated with substance abuse. To provide clinicians with tools to help deal with this important issue, the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration is pleased to present Anger Management for Substance Abuse and Mental Health Clients: A Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Manual and its companion book Anger Management for Substance Abuse and Mental Health Clients: Participant Workbook. The anger management treatment design in this manual, which has been delivered to hundreds of clients over the past 8 years, has been popular with both clinicians and clients. This treatment design can be used in a variety of clinical settings and will be beneficial to the field. (Charles G. Curie, M.A., A.C.S.W.

Four types of CBT interventions, theoretically unified by principles of social learning theory, are most often used when treating anger disorders: The treatment model described in this training and program is a combined CBT approach that employs relaxation, cognitive, and communication skills interventions. Anger Management is a 12-week cognitive-behavioral anger management group treatment program. It’s designed for individuals to learn to manage anger, stop violence or the threat of violence. An additional goal is to develop and strengthen skills for self-control over thoughts and actions and receive support and feedback from others.
Anger Management Initial Facilitator Training is a one (1) day training designed for virtual and on-site learning. It is designed for justice-involved offenders and all individuals who have anger and substance use issues.
