Anger In The News

Anger Management Great Niche Market for Professionals

From a business point of view, anger management is a growth industry with many niche markets developing. While the majority of clients still probably come from the court system, it is very possible to build a successful anger management business without court referrals. In fact, sometimes it is wise to have separate programs for court-referred and others.

Possible niche markets that seem to be emerging would include:

• angry couples. Often, couples are referred by marital therapists for specific anger management and communciation skills enhancement. With our model of anger management, couples are taught better ways to communicate.
• angry parents. Many parents attend anger management becuase of anger toward their own children. In fact, numerous parenting books are now recommending anger management as part of better parenting.
• angry children. Many adolescents are very angry and can benefit greatly from learning skills to better deal with their emotions. The Century Anger Management model has a separate workbook for adolescents, which providers say is very useful with clients aged 12-18.
• anger in family businesses. Second generation business or businesses that employ family members often experience much anger which can span from irritation to rage (we consulted with one business wherein a brother tried to murder his sibling on the job).

Century Anger Management offers two new 40-hour certification programs that allows you to add anger management to your practice or agency program. Details by clicking here. 

 

Century Anger Management Offering Discount on Certification Training

Century Anger Management announces a discount this summer of its popular 8-tool anger management certification program.

Our new training model can be taken with two options: (1) Two days of live training in Laguna Beach, CA followed by 24 hours of online modules, or, (2) Home study program consisting of a DVD of our  actual trainings plus 32 hours of online modules.

Century Anger Management Trainiing materials well-accepted

Although only three years old, Century Anger Management is quickly becoming a major influence in anger management training. Our model of anger management is extremely well-accepted by clients of the substance abuse, mental health, and correctional professionals we have trained and certified. We constantly receive feedback regarding how user-friendly our workbook  is for clients at all educational levels.

One recent trainee told us "I just completed my training as a marriage and family therapist. I can tell you that the material in your book summarizes my four years of training and puts it in a format that almoat anyone can understand."

We love to hear that kind of feedback because our book "Anger Management for the Twenty-First Century" was specifically written not to impress colleagues, but to speak to the common person who is having trouble with anger control.

Century Anger Management Updates Training Model for 2007

September 14, 2006

Century Anger Management Updates Training Model and Standards

 

Century Anger Management, one of the leading national anger management providers for certification training will be updating their certification standards and training model starting January 1, 2007. Their training standards will increase from 16 hours of content training to 40 hours of content training. This increase is to both improve the quality of the training as well as collaborate with the American Association of Anger Management Providers in their effort to have a 40 hour training requirement to further promote standardization in the field. This will both help consumers of anger management as well as providers teaching classes. Content training with Century Anger Management will be offered in the form of live trainings, DVD’s, and web-based learning. 

 

The Century Anger Management model of intervention utilizes the 8 Tools of Anger Control through the curricula “Anger Management for the Twenty-first Century” by Tony Fiore, Ph.D. and Ari Novick, Ph.D. Content includes teaching skills in 8 core areas: Stress management; Empathy and Emotional awareness; Learning to respond instead of react; Improving self talk and challenging automatic thinking; Assertive communication; Expectation management; Forgiveness, and Calming skills. The Century Anger Management model utilizes pre and post evaluations, which are taught during the live content trainings. All previous providers will be required to take additional training to stay current with these new standards and to remain active on the Century Anger Management provider list. We are excited about this new change and believe it will further strengthen our model and anger management, improve provider competency and further promote anger management as a viable and well needed niche separate from mental health.
