What do you do when someone or something gets you so mad that you lose your temper or your self control? And what happens when you can't get over your anger?
Our "CHOICES" group will help you learn and choose options that allow you to keep your personal power, control and freedom. Did you know that your happiness is determined by your reaction to your environment? There is a space between feeling anger and your reaction to it. Let us help you fill that space with "CHOICES". Once you know that you have choices, you will become responsible for your own destiny.
