This is a two-part program. Part 1 reduces the real risk of rage to participants, their families and the community. Rage is an extreme level of anger, characterised by intense, often uncontrollable feelings that may push someone to express their fury through loud outbursts or physical actions. Unlike simple irritation, rage consumes a person’s behaviour and clouds their judgment, leading to shouting, aggression, or other dramatic responses.
For individuals dealing with rage, there’s a significant risk of incarceration or re-incarceration due to their reactions. Our program focuses on creating a tailored rage management plan before addressing other intense emotions like anger, jealousy, or a lack of empathy through subsequent programs. The success of this program hinges on:
- Identifying situations that typically trigger rage.
- Implementing immediate steps and providing support systems to mitigate these triggers, helping to lower the intensity and frequency of rage episodes.
Anger Management (Part 2) is the Circuit-Breaker program which builds on Part 1 as well as the Effective Communication program to help participants manage their temper and improve interpersonal relationships. In sessions participants strategies for emotional regulation and relationship building.

Module 1: Rage Management

The goal of these is to keep the community safe and reduce the risk of detainee reoffending. The other modules need to be complete whilst supported in the community to bring about real change. The management of emotions are addressed and in particular empathy and jealousy. All actions that risk reoffending are clearly communicated.
