Anger Management

Anger management training is aided to help individuals identify the source of their anger and to gain control over it. Strategies include calming techniques (behavioral changes) and methods to change the thoughts that fuel angry feelings.

Suicide Attention & Prevention

The suicide prevention training teaches individuals how to change suicidal thoughts and behaviors as well as aide those who know someone with suicidal tendencies and warning signs. We can all help in preventing suicide.

Workplace Issues

We offer training on dealing effectively with workplace issues such as conflict resolution, effective communication, employee engagement, bullying/harassment, and others.

Anger - Facts

While anger is a normal human emotion, ongoing impulsive anger often leads to massive, sometimes irrevocable, problems in interpersonal relationships, work, and quality of life. People that have difficulty managing anger are susceptible to road rage, verbal, domestic, and physical violence.

Key statistics from the anger management report are:

• Sixty-four percent say that the world is becoming an angrier place.

• Almost a third of people polled (32%) say they have a close friend or family member who has trouble controlling their anger.

• More than one in ten (12%) say that they have trouble controlling their own anger.

• More than one in four people (28%) say that they worry about how angry they sometimes feel.

• One in five of people (20%) say that they have ended a relationship or friendship with someone because of how they behaved when they were angry.

• Fewer than one in seven (13%) of those people who say they have trouble controlling their anger have sought help for their anger problems.

• 58% of people wouldn’t know where to seek help if they needed help with an anger problem.

Suicide Awareness - Facts

Suicide prevention starts with recognizing the warning signs and taking them seriously. If you think a friend or family member is considering suicide, there’s plenty you can do to help save a life.

Suicide Statistics:

* Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the US for all ages.

* Every day, approximately 123 Americans die by suicide.

* There is one death by suicide in the US every 12 minutes.

* Depression affects 20-25% of Americans ages 18+ in a given year.

* Suicide takes the lives of over 44,965 Americans every year.

* There is one suicide for every estimated 25 suicide attempts.

* There is one suicide for every estimated 4 suicide attempts in the elderly.

Almost everyone who attempts suicide has given some clue or warning. Don’t ignore even indirect references to death or suicide. As part of our suicide attention and prevention class, we bring an awareness of suicide, leading factors, and general prevention methods to help you use.

We can all help prevent suicide.

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is a national network of local crisis centers that provides free and confidential emotional support to people in suicidal crisis or emotional distress 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 800-273-TALK (8255)

WORKPLACE ISSUES - FACTS

Mental health issues affect businesses and employees in the workplace and need to be addressed appropriately and promptly. Current statistics show:

82% of employees with mental health issues indicate it impacts their work, while only 53% of those with physical health issues say it impacts their work.

Numerous studies show that employees are more creative and able to achieve higher levels of job performance when they are in mentally healthy work environments.

* Conflict Resolution

* Effective Communication

* Bullying/Harassment
