Train Your Anger Dragon CAMP Series: How to Control Your Anger With Guided Relaxation; After School

This class is taught in English.

In this class, students will learn how anger is a natural response that can be managed in healthy ways.  We will learn techniques to effectively communicate what we feel, as well as coping skills that can be used to regulate emotions.  We will also learn deep breathing and mindfulness techniques that aid in relaxation.

Hello all learners and parents!  My name is Mandy and I teach classes designed to help children reduce stress and anxiety.  I have 15 years of experience using techniques that are research-based and proven to aid in mind/body relaxation.  My goal is to help children learn to cope with and manage anxiety through techniques they can use throughout their lives.

My academic background is in Clinical Psychology.  I have both a B.S. and M.S. in Clinical Psychology and have 20 years of experience working with youth.  I have worked in a therapeutic setting since 2004, teaching social skills groups, art therapy, relaxation exercises, and play therapy sessions.  As a psychometrist, I have extensive experience administering comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations and cognitive rehabilitation assessments, including vision therapy and neurofeedback, with children and adolescents.  I have worked with a wide range of diagnoses (ADHD, learning disabilities, physical disabilities, Autism, Dyslexia, behavior disorders, etc.), ages (age 2 to adult), and intellectual levels (severely delayed to gifted). 

Homework will be minimal, and will include practicing learned techniques and drawing our Anger Dragons.

30 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
