“I learnt that it’s okay to be angry and that it happens to everyone. I even learnt a new breathing technique to help me when I’m angry.”
“Earlier today I got into trouble with my teacher and felt really angry, but I remembered the techniques from the workshop and managed to calm myself down and handle the situation better.”
Bring this to your school
If you want a whole-school approach to violence reduction and behaviour support, we can combine:
- Anger Management Assemblies for large groups

Sessions are drama- and games-based, making them engaging and accessible, including for pupils with additional needs.
“I was very impressed with the tips students were able to recall… to support them with managing their anger and avoiding potential conflict.”
