Thank you for your interest in our anger management class. We completed our winter course in January 2024

Our Summer 2024 class begins August 3, 2024. The two dates will be August 3rd and August 17, 2024.

We also want to note that we have changed the way we are doing our anger management course. We have now completed two offerings of our new way of delivering the course. It is 2 Saturdays, 2 weeks apart. The first Saturday is from 9 AM to 1 PM. Then you have two weeks between sessions to give you time to complete your workbook assignments, and we meet again and finish up from 9 AM to 1 PM. You are still required to attend all seven sessions and you must complete all of your workbook in order for us to certify that you have successfully completed the course. However, we are hoping this will work much better for those of you who have demanding work schedules and find it hard to commit to a seven week class without having travel or family interruptions in the middle of it.

We offer Anger Management as a group class for our primary format of delivery. Although you can opt to go through the Anger Management course individually, please be aware that there may be additional sessions to make sure you get through all of the material. You can be assured that we will work with you to help complete the course by the dates you need to be finished.

We have had so many inquiries about our Anger Management Course, we decided to provide some of the steps necessary to register and complete the class.

To reserve your spot in our next Anger Management class, there are several steps you need to take:

1. Go to our New Client Tab and sign the Acknowledgement Form. This will prompt us to call you to confirm your spot

2. There is a $169.00 reservation fee to hold your spot in the class This $169.00 will be applied the total due for the course and materials. If you are a no show for the course, the reservation fee will not be refunded. If you are in the class and miss any of the sessions without notice, the cost for that session will be deducted from your deposit.

3. If you are court ordered to anger management, we ask that you bring your court paperwork the first night of class, so that we can register who we need to submit certificates of completion and letters to the court on your behalf. There is an additional $87.50 charge to generate a letter and certificate of completion for the course.

4. Couples are welcome to come through the anger management course together. The cost of the course is calculated per person per session.

5. All classes must be completed in order to receive a certificate of completion and a letter. If you have to miss a class, you will be required to make it up before a certificate will be issued.

We all get angry.  If your anger gets in the way of your relationships, there is help for you in handling your anger in a healthy way.

Anger is like a fire.  Anger is the gift that keeps on taking.

• Do you need help understanding and managing your anger?

• Has anger interfered with, damaged or destroyed relationships that mattered to you?

• Has anger interfered with your job performance?

• Have you struggled with other’s responses to your anger?

The course is open to men, women and couples. We are still offering a biblically based approach on how to handle anger, however this time we are offering the material as a course. There is a workbook for the course which is required. We are praying that you will make the choice to come and allow yourself the chance to handle and manage anger in a healthier way for you and for those you love.

If you have questions or would like to sign up please contact the office at 540-479-1661. Blessings, Susie

As you know, we made a promise that Journey to Hope would commit to offering Anger Management once a quarter because we believe that anger and the management of anger responses has to be a priority from a Christian perspective. Whether it is one or three or five or more of you each quarter, the investment of time is so worth it. Your family is worth the investment of your time and energy, and for you, learning how to be angry and not let it hurt you, others, or your job will be of great value to you. I hope you will pray about coming for the first time, or consider repeating the course as a refresher. Either way, you are so very welcome to join us.  I am asking that you contact us  let us know if you are interested in joining.

We are making good on our promise to offer Anger Management from a Christian perspective every single quarter of the year. If you have already gone through it once with us, you are welcome to come again. The course changes slightly each offering as new material becomes available. We would love to have you join us.

Praying for you today, that God will continue to be greater than anything you face. Because He is. We are praying that you will make the choice to come and allow yourself the chance to handle and manage anger in a healthier way for you and for those you. 

Blessings, Susie
