Adolescent Program
SAMI implements the Anderson & Anderson Anger Management curriculum for adolescents. The program is designed to help young adults recognize and normalize anger. One of its goals is to teach acceptable ways of expressing anger. By gaining a better understanding of self, we will learn to better control our anger so that it does not lead to violent outbursts. Learn different ways of managing stress, improving emotional intelligence and communication skills so that we may become better listeners and communicators.
Upon completion of this course, students will:
- Recognize the role of individual responsibility of changing their unacceptable behavior.
- Develop a working understanding of anger/stress patterns and responses.
- Identify “situational anger” that consistently results in angry responses and can lead to aggressive behavior.
Eliminate
or minimize person-directed aggression. Learn how to and when to use “time-outs” to
prevent confrontations and incorporate new coping skills to handle
stress, anger, and other feelings.- Develop communication skills and listening techniques to enhance interpersonal relationships.
- Learn to sense the mood of persons with whom they must interact, and respond in ways to improve –rather than impede—positive interactions.

SAMI Offers Summer Workshops for Adolescents to Learn Stress & Anger Management Skills
Manhattan Beach, CA, (May 24, 2007) – Anutza Bellissimo, Founder of the Stress & Anger Management Institute (SAMI), has announced a new summer co-ed workshop program to provide adolescents with coping skills, support and social skills. Led by Cinzia Canale, MA, CAMF, Lead Facilitator, the program is designed to help young adults recognize and normalize stress, anger, and improve interactions with parents, siblings, teachers and friends.
Program registration will occur through June 2007.
The first workshop runs from July 5 – August 23 on Thursdays from 3:30 pm – 5:00 pm and the second workshop runs from July 10 – August 28 on Tuesdays from 10:30 am – 12:00 pm in the Hermosa Beach office.
Program goals include: learning acceptable ways of controlling and expressing anger to avoid violent outbursts, gaining a better understanding of self, ways to effectively manage stress, and improve both emotional intelligence and communication skills. Participants will learn to develop a working understanding of anger / stress patterns and management, recognize the role of individual responsibility of changing unacceptable behavior, identify "situational" anger, and eliminate or minimize "person-directed" anger.
“I believe that if we can help our adolescents understand the power of positive stress and anger while in their relationship formative years, we can help them to have a better quality of life later as a result. Learning and integrating healthy communications patterns at a younger age makes understanding much easier in the long run”, says Anutza Bellissimo, CAMF.
