Anger Management Is A Must For Prisoner Re-Entry Programs
California leads the nation in its’ prison population as
well as its’ commitment to focus on a collaborative community response to
provide the necessary education, mental health treatment and/or life skills to
succeed in work and life. The California Endowment has set aside $50 million
dollars in grant money for non-profits to partner with state and local
governments as well as school districts to provide a wide range of services
including substance abuse treatment, mental health services, anger management,
GED, job training and life skills.
One of the most innovative and successful prisoner re-entry
programs in California is the SCBC which is a collaborative effort between the
Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE) and the California Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) specifically designed for men and women
reentering the community from state prison.
The program is designed to help people transition back into
their local communities and families, resume their education and find and start
successful careers. During the last year, 30-40% of the total Sacramento County
parole population has been referred to the SCBC program. Less than one-third of
those clients’ recommit and are sent back to prison. The state recidivism rate
is nearly 75%.
Similar programs are being established in most California
Counties. Program participants are eligible to receive educational services
that include literacy skills, GED and high school diplomas, math skills,
vocational training and referrals.
All of these programs include anger management and emotional
intelligence as a part of the skills taught. Certified Anger Management
Facilitators (CAMF) are in demand to provide Emotional intelligence, Life
Skills and Anger Management.
The American Association of Anger Management Providers will
showcase some of these programs at it’s first annual conference in Los Angeles
on August 22,23, 20014. Fr. Greg Boyle, S.J., founder of Home Boy Industries
will be the main speaker on August 23. Dr. Alan Rosenstein, M.D. will be the Keynote Speaker on August 22. The
theme of the conference is Emotional Intelligence for Anger Management.
