Coward Punch - 1 On 1 - Anger and Me
Lesson5 of 7 in this unit

Lesson Summary
This one-on-one session helps trusted adults start a conversation with a young person who may be struggling with anger and aggression. The young person’s displays of aggression or rage may be of sufficient concern that the young person reaches out for help, or a concerned adult wishes to raise the issue with them. The session will guide the facilitator through empathy-building, person-centred questioning and problem-solving techniques, referral avenues and building self-worth.
This session is not designed to replace professional help and is merely a starting point for attempting to initiate self-motivated help-seeking by the young person. This session should only be delivered with the young person’s consent and all efforts should be taken to respect their privacy and personal agency.
