APDS Mindful Reaction

Stop LOSING yourself!

Who We Are

APDS Mindful Reaction – (Anger Management Program for teenagers and young adults) The APDS Mindful Reactions Program is a prevention program that utilizes the evidence-based Resiliency Model, which builds upon the internal strengths of a person and teaches participants to manage their anger in their everyday lives.

How APDS Helps

Our approach is evidence-based and compassionate. Some of the strategies and methods we use include:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): helping you recognize and reshape thoughts, beliefs, and patterns that trigger anger.

  • Mindfulness & Relaxation Techniques: breathing exercises, meditation, and other mind/body practices to calm the nervous system.

  • Trigger Identification & Management: learning what circumstances, thoughts, or environmental cues provoke anger so you can prepare or avoid.

  • Communication Skills Training: assertiveness, listening skills, and non-violent communication so you can express yourself without harm.

  • Conflict Resolution Strategies: tools to resolve conflicts peacefully and build understanding.

  • Support & Accountability: peer groups, coaching, or counseling to help you stay on track and navigate setbacks.

How You Get Better

When you go through the program, you’ll be supported in building:

  • Greater self-awareness—understanding what makes you angry, how anger manifests, and its effects.

  • Improved impulse control—being able to pause rather than react.

  • Healthier relationships—as you express yourself better and reduce harmful outbursts.

  • Reduced stress, guilt, or regret—because you’re managing anger rather than it managing you.

  • More productive and calm responses to triggering situations.

  • A stronger sense of emotional resilience.
