Identified youth and their parents will be contacted to determine interest in participating in the group. The student will then complete a screening interview with the social worker to determine appropriateness for participation in the anger management group.  The group screening process would also question students’ gender identity. If the staff numbers allow for it, students in our group will be screened and assigned to groups based on grade level and gender each anger management group would be separated by gender, students who participate in anger management groups have greater feelings of self consciousness in mixed-gender groups. Girls in mixed-gender anger management groups demonstrate a hesitancy to explore intimate feelings and thoughts underlying anger when the group is mixed gender. My students will be identified based on having more than one office discipline referral for verbal or physical aggression in the past year.

My leadership style for my group is affiliative . This leadership style promotes harmony within the team, and emphasizes emotional connections. It connects people by encouraging inclusion and resolving conflict. It is key when there are trust-related challenges and/or tensions, for example. Affiliative will help my group by promoting positivity, embracing an harmonious environment by showing compassion and dedication to change no matter the conditions are.

Have them write self reflection on what trigger them and how to fix/change. I will observe their progress along the way to make sure if there any improvements.

Stage 3- Ending the group with a review on the topics we discussed, provide the students with resources such as videos to help maintain anger, activities/ exercises videos they can practice at home and website they can visit which can assist with enhancing their problems.
