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.

Kanye West, Chris Brown And Other Celebrities Have Been Duped!

George Anderson, MSW, LCSW, CAMF

Diplomate, American Association of Anger Management Providers

Unsuspecting celebrities have been urged to enroll in “anger management rehab” by well meaning attorneys or Probation Officers who are clueless as to what an anger program should include and the training needed by the providers who offer anger management.

The American Psychological Association has fought unsuccessfully for years to get anger listed as an illness in the official Diagnostic And Statistical Manual of Nervous And Mental Disorders (DSM-5). It is The Group For The Advancement Of Psychiatry that determines what is or is not listed as a mental illness.

The American Psychiatric Association maintains that anger is a normal human emotion that is a problem when it is too intense, occurs too frequently, lasts too long, leads to aggression or violence, destroys school, work or interpersonal relationships or impacts health.

Since anger is neither an illness nor an addiction, counseling, psychotherapy, rehab, or psychotropic medication is inappropriate and ineffective for teaching skills in anger management. Many substance abuse rehab centers like the two programs attended in Malibu by Chris Brown are designed to treat drug and alcohol addition. Chris Brown wasted $50,000 per month in Malibu attending sessions on relapse prevention, horse back riding, art therapy, psychotherapy, meditation, yoga, and eating gourmet meals.

The most effective intervention for anger management is Emotional Intelligence coaching for impulse control. Coaches must be trained and Certified in Emotional Intelligence Assessment as well as Emotional Intelligence coaching. EQ coaching begins with an assessment, includes a client workbook and ends after a minimum of six months of coaching with a post assessment to determine the success or lack of success of the intervention. Few rehab programs have trained providers skilled in coaching for anger management.

The Joint Commission for the accreditation of Health Care Organizations coined the phrase “disruptive behavior” to describe physicians who exhibit problems managing anger. Rather than drug rehab programs, the Joint Commission as well as The American Medical Association advocate skill enhancement in impulse control for its’ physicians who exhibit “disruptive behavior”.
