LICADD To Host Anger Management Workshop on 9/24

On Saturday, September 24, 2011, the Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (LICADD) will host a full-day Anger Management Workshop from 9:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m at the agency’s Ronkonkoma office.

Class size is limited to ensure attendees receive the utmost attention. Classroom exercises and instructional materials are used to help guide participants in learning a variety of skills including stress management, communication training, anger management, empathy, conflict resolution, as well as skills in developing better judgement and impulse control. Participants will receive an official certificate after completing the course. LICADD’s anger management services are approved by all courts, probation departments, and Child Protective Services.

“The biggest take away from this seminar is that anger isn’t bad, it’s an emotion just as the rest,” said LICADD Assessment, Education, and Referral Specialist Steven Pinto, M.S., MHC. “By practicing certain skills, we can manage anger in a healthier way.” Many participants extend this learning experience and find themselves enrolling in our weekly series after the full-day course.

LICADD is the premier provider of anger management classes on Long Island, offering low-cost anger management workshops, classes, and coaching in both Nassau County and Suffolk County. The fee for the full-day Anger Management Workshop is $199. Payment for LICADD’s anger management services may be made via check, cash or major credit card. Those on Medicaid, Public Assistance or EAP clients are eligible for a reduction in fees.

The workshop will be held at LICADD’s Ronkonkoma office, conveniently located at 2805 Veterans Memorial Highway, Suite 26, just off of the Long Island Expressway. The full-day Anger Management Workshop is known to fill to capacity well in advance.
