Based on the idea that teens can and should take control of their own lives and emotions, this book provides the tools they need to manage anger in healthy ways. Sequential lessons stress the following concepts:

• Everyone has a right to his or her feelings.
• Physiological changes occur when anger is triggered.
• Self-talk influences how one feels.
• Drugs affect emotions and the ability to control them.
• The way people express anger is a learned behavior.

Appropriate for small-group or classroom use, this program helps young people understand the social, cultural, and personal influences that shape their thoughts and reactions. And it empowers them to take responsibility for their own behavior. Posters, charts, and a reproducible pretest and posttest are included.
