Controlling Anger: A Solution Focused Approach for Young People will help to empower pupils to manage strong feelings more positively. Many pupils experience difficulty in controlling their strong feelings and in managing conflict in both school and home settings. These two programmes (for different age groups) aim to help children and young people:

• avoid or manage situations of conflict
• understand that they can create change
• realise that it is possible to resolve difficulties and achieve a positive outcome.

Controlling Anger: A Solution Focused Approach for Young People  draws on topics particularly suitable for teens and young adults, and uses newspaper reports on subjects such as:

• road rage
• racist incidents
• happy slapping
• street fights.
