Anger Management Strategies for Youth and Young Adults

Salina Mae 

Training Description

Anger is often an overwhelming emotion for youth of all ages, especially those who are most marginalized, such as youth of color, LGBTQI+ youth, and youth in and out of home care. And for our youth most marginalized, they certainly have a lot to be angry about. Marginalized youth are on the front lines of injustice, racism, homophobia, police brutality, just to name a few.  In this workshop, youth workers will learn  culturally relevant and trauma informed strategies to support young people in navigating their anger.

Learning Objectives

• Engage in at least 1 culturally relevant activity to support youth in reflecting on their anger and develop their body awareness.
