Testimonials
The MAAD workshop provides an
opportunity for parents and those that work
with adolescents to discover the science and
developmental issues behind adolescent
anger and aggression. Building on this
learning the course leaves participants with
a broad range of proven strategies that will
help reduce adolescent anger within home
and school settings. Best of all these
strategies are easy to learn and encourage
the development of positive respectful
relationships between adolescents and their
carers. This course will improve your
delivery of the RAGE course or other
courses aimed at helping adolescents with
anger
control
issues.
