Anger Management Classes

Learn to Respond, Not React

Anger itself isn’t the problem. But when anger becomes the default response to stress, shame, fear, or frustration — it can damage relationships, derail recovery, and put legal or personal goals at risk.

At In The Gap Academy, our Anger Management Program helps clients understand where their anger comes from, what it’s costing them, and how to change their responses without losing their voice or their power.

This program isn’t about “controlling your temper.” It’s about building emotional intelligence, learning better communication, and healing what’s underneath the reaction.

Whether you’re court-referred, navigating relationship challenges, or stuck in cycles of conflict, we offer practical, compassionate support that actually works.

Who This Program Helps

Court-ordered clients fulfilling anger management mandates

Individuals who frequently escalate during conflict or stress

Clients with a history of family, partner, or workplace conflict

People who feel constantly disrespected, misunderstood, or triggered

Adolescents or adults struggling to regulate emotions

Returning citizens reintegrating into high-pressure environments

Clients in recovery whose anger impacts their sobriety and stability

We help clients who have heard “you need to calm down” their whole lives — without ever being taught how.

What Makes Our Approach Different

We Go Deeper Than “Anger Control”

Our curriculum explores the real causes of anger — unmet needs, trauma, abandonment, humiliation, and chronic stress. We help clients trace the origin of their reactivity so they can change it at the root.

We Focus on Skill-Building, Not Shaming

Anger is often a survival strategy. We respect that. Our sessions build new tools: how to pause, name emotions, set boundaries, ask for what you need, and disengage when escalation builds.

We Understand Cultural and Systemic Contexts

For many clients — especially Black and Brown men and women — anger has been both weaponized against them and used to protect them. We help clients unlearn patterns without stripping away their dignity.

We Teach Real-Life Application

This program is interactive, not lecture-based. Clients work through scenarios they actually face — parenting stress, probation interactions, family arguments, job site tension — and build tools they can use immediately.

Who Benefits from This Program

We work with people who’ve “failed” other programs, been labeled “non-compliant,” or struggle with authority. Our model invites accountability through connection, not control.

Who Benefits from This Program

Clients at risk of job loss, custody issues, or legal consequences due to outbursts

Individuals who’ve been incarcerated and now face high emotional pressure

Parents, partners, or family members trying to break generational cycles

Clients in substance use treatment who relapse when anger goes unmanaged

Anyone who’s tired of blowing up — or shutting down — and wants a different path

Anger isn’t the enemy. Unprocessed pain is. We help clients break the pattern — without breaking their spirit.

Let’s Take the First Step Together

Most clients who come to us have tried other programs — and left feeling judged, dismissed, or stuck. What makes ITG Academy different is that we don’t just treat the symptoms. We treat the systemic barriers holding people back.

You don’t have to do this alone. And you don’t have to settle for less. ITG Academy offers treatment that transforms — because we treat the whole person.
