Anger Management Programme

Going on the positive changes anger management programme has been one of the best things I have ever done. I learnt that the reason we act the way we do is due to behaviour we have seen growing up as children. Being 17 years of age I can see how this will most definitely help me in the future. I have learnt my trigger signs of anger and I have been given the tools from this course to stop me from escalating out of control. This course has taught me more about myself than I was ever aware of before hand and now I can look forward to my positive future ahead of me because of the changes I have made due to the programme. I will take from this course the knowledge of how strong foundations in a home environment will ensure stability and positive growth. I would highly recommend this course to anyone because speaking from experience you don’t know until you try. This course can change your life, like it changed mine in a positive way.    C.S

Anger Management group session - Feb-May 12 weeks 2019

this course and the delivery of t has been greatly beneficial for me.  I feel alot more confident to be able to make better decisions in the future.  When it comes to controlling my myself, and not reacting negativity to aggression and anger from other people.  I have a lot more self awareness and now realize the parts iv'e played in my conflict.  TN

Belinda was friendly and respectful in her manner and overall approach, also very accommodating/flexible to the individual needs of my son.  The course content was well developed and effective at informing and empowering positive changes in our lives.  Aroha Nu, thank you so much, we really needed this help.   S.S.   12yrs old

Feb-June Group (mens) 2020

Coming into the course I was very impartial, an assault charge in 2018 had lead me to finding this course and attending.  Every bone in my body was against it, as I felt strong that this was not what I needed.  As the course progressed and I came to understand what it was all about, my feelings changed drastically!  12 weeks later (with a break during covid) I have met,conversed, and understood life from several different - very real people.  I am confident to say I have gained a very invaluable experience here and will never forget the lessons learnt.  Belinda has been fantastic through out and has never hesitated in giving advice, support and knowledge on the situations that lead me to the programme.  It was an incredibly positive journey.  J.E

An excellent supportive and encouraging programme and group.  Very proactive and specific material to anger.   K.S

I came to Pcp with some major anger issues, that throughout the course I have gathered the tools to help me deal with situations - triggers.  The course is so much more than dealing with anger in which it has helped enlighten  me.  My perspective towards so much more of my though process.  I would definitely recommend this course to anyone and wish for the day when this is taught to us all at a school level.  Thanks from me and my children.  A.D

Learnt 3 new straggles that I can us in everyday life., all round the course was good, only thing I found annoying was when people would ramble on a bit.  Thought Belinda did a great job at presenting the course.  S.H

I have found the Pcp anger management programme to be worth while experience.  The strategies taught throughout the programme can help in all aspects of life including personal and professional environment.  This course is delivered with respect and in a very supportive environment.
Each week I have left the course feeling positive and self -assured with the new skills I have gained.  I have learnt so much about myself, including knowing how what I believe can impact my thought pattern in a positive or negative way.  These life skills strategies should be taught where possible as they could support and empower SO  many people in a positive way.  Thank you, I have learnt so many things that will impact my life moving forward in an optimistic way and with more confidence in handling the difficult situations.  NR

PCP has helped me to identify my Strength's & Weaknesses, triggers and stresses, and has taught me how to manage my emotions and feelings of anger and frustration in a way that is safe for me and those around me.  Since attending the course I feel in control of my behaviours and have a better understanding of why I behave that way.  working with Belinda has been awesome because she is 'straight up the guts"' and gets to the root of the issues.  I really enjoyed building a relationship with Belinda and felt that I could be completely honest with her because of the trust we'd built over the 9 weeks.  The anger management programme has changes my outlook on Life and I am experiencing so many positive changes because of it!   E.T.   adult
