Other Support Groups offered by other organizations:
Anger Management Group - Canvas Health is starting a new group at its Cottage Grove location designed to help adult clients (18+) better understand and control their anger. The group will meet weekly for 12 sessions beginning on June 13. This will be a closed group (participants must attend each session), and certificates of completion will be distributed at the end of the program. Individual make-up sessions will be available if clients need to miss a session. If you have any client referrals or questions, please contact Ben Rastegari at 651-255-8556. [While Cottage Grove may be a bit of a drive for Ramsey County residents, anger management groups, often times required for some people on probation, can be difficult to find.]
