Onondaga Case Management Services provides REACH Anger Management Skills Training Groups to individuals being served by an OCMS program (ACT, Adult and Children/Youth Case Management, Peer Mentor Service and family members). These groups are not available to individuals who are not already enrolled in OCMS programs. The REACH Anger Management program is a cognitive-behavioral approach developed by Steven C. Simmer. The approach includes relaxation techniques and communication skills designed specifically for the precontemplative person with anger issues. The REACH Anger Management Skills group helps the person see the problem as an issue shared by many, and is ultimately less shaming as a result. It is designed to provide an efficient and structured way of communicating the basic techniques of anger work, and gets people started in a hurry. We currently have one adult anger management skills group and will expand as more facilitators come forward. Our mission is to teach skills related to emotion regulation as an enhancement of current OCM services and as an adjunct to primary treatment services. We are committed to providing access to DBT skills groups to individuals who desire to make behavioral changes and pursue a life worth living. We empower participants with new behavioral choices and strategies. We strive to pursue our mission mindfully, non-judgmentally, and effectively.
