Press Release Summary: Daybreak Counseling Service, the leader in anger management
education and anger management classes moves to incorporate evidence - based
practices within its anger management course curriculum.

Press Release Body:

A growing amount of literature confirms that in addition to targeting specified
behaviors such as aggression, drug use, alcohol abuse and other criminal behavior
the criminogenic needs of offenders must be addressed. Although anger itself is not
a crime it is often a present factor in crimes against another person such as
battery, domestic violence, criminal threats and assault.

Most anger Management classes teach individuals how to manage stress, communicate
effectively, and develop emotional intelligence but such classes do not address the
motivation of clients especially if they are court ordered.

Individuals who exhibit chronic acts of anger and aggression often receive great
rewards for their behavior. Such behavior may reinforce their status in their
community and reinforces their own vision of themselves.

In an effort to manage anger, Daybreak Counseling Service addresses eight major risk
factors for the clients.

1. Antisocial Attitudes
2. Antisocial Peers
3. Antisocial Personality
4. History of antisocial behavior
5. Family
6. Education/Employment
7. Substance Abuse.

Daybreak Counseling Service does not provide psychotherapy but uses an educational
model that manages anger. Through cognitive instruction rather than process groups
clients can be made aware of the above risk factors that may prevent reduced
aggression. Daybreak Counseling Service provides effective anger management courses
by suggesting referrals to address multiple needs of the clients as well as
providing an after care program to support the clients growth.
