NewBridge Offers Anger Program for Teenage Boys

Montville, NJ - August 21, 2008 - Being a teenaged boy isn't easy, nor are the emotions and conflicts that they face. In response, NewBridge, a nonprofit provider of behavioral health and education programs and services, is offering Cool Under Fire, a support group for boys ages 14 to 16 who would benefit from learning effective ways to handle anger, stress and conflict and improve relationships.

"With the new school year comes new academic, social and personal challenges, which can increase the stress of adolescence," said Jane Kelly, LCSW, clinician at NewBridge. "This program helps boys learn that there are ways to cope, and that other teens feel the same way."

This ongoing program is held on Monday evenings at NewBridge's Adult and Family Services, 202 Main Road, Montville, NJ. Participants will have the opportunity to express themselves in a supportive setting as they learn to channel anger in healthy ways, manage stress, develop coping skills and improve relationships. Admission for this program is on a rolling basis.
