The John Howard Society of Toronto has launched Anger Management Toronto (www.angertoronto.ca) in response to an overwhelming need for Professional Development Training in the area of Anger Management for employees of small and mid-size businesses and, in particular their front line workers.

Capitalizing on the Society's over 20 years of experience in the field, Anger Management Toronto began as part of The John Howard Society of Toronto's Anger Management Program and from there developed into a separate Social Enterprise, with the primary objective to provide exceptional "train the trainer" training in the area of Anger Management to professionals in the Greater Toronto Area.

"The Social Enterprise strategy builds on emerging trends and enables us to leverage our strengths in the area of Professional Training to meet the growing need for Anger Management programs in the greater Toronto area," says Rob MacLellan, President of JHST Board of Directors. "In providing their professionals and employees with the requisite skills, we give them the means to increase in the availability of Anger Management programs for individuals and enhance the conflict resolution skills of employees in a cost effective manner."

The workshops that Anger Management Toronto offers focus on assisting professionals to develop skills, both for client interventions and interpersonal use in the workplace. Unlike many other offerings, these Workshops are tailored to meet the specific needs of the organization, thereby assisting the organization to successfully put into operation these skills, in their unique environments.
