    Anger Workshop

    Join us for a workshop which will address the causes, beliefs, results, and expressions of anger. In the workshop we will talk about strategies to resolve and understand anger.

    What Causes Your Anger?

    Anger is part of life that is often misunderstood. Many of us have been taught to suppress anger rather than express it productively and safely. We will discuss what underlies anger and how the goal of managing anger is to heal the wound which caused it. You can leave the workshop with a better understanding of yourself and those around you.

    The Workshop will be held on:
    Wednesday, January 11, 2012
    6:00 until 9:00 PM
    B-103, Community Service Building
    630 Janet Ave., Lancaster, PA 17601

    Cost per person is $25.00. Scholarships are available. Registration is required.
    Please print form and return to MHA office on or before Friday,January 6, 2012
