Lori Gallimore, Extension Specialist
No doubt! We are constantly looking for valuable and worthwhile programs to share at our senior high Honor Club meetings. Have I got the PERFECT one for you! In a world of anger, hurt, harsh judgment, bullying and where gun violence is almost a daily occurrence in schools around the county, UT Family and Consumer Sciences, in conjunction with Tennessee 4-H Youth Development, is pleased to offer an upcoming in-service training that will be very helpful for your teen audiences and for you in your work with various youth audiences.
RELAX: Alternatives to Anger series actively engages learners in a group setting to increase knowledge and skills around anger managements and give them constructive ways to deal with anger. Aspects of promoting social emotional health are woven throughout the training and include expressing emotions, navigating stress, resolving interpersonal conflict, taking another’s perspective, feeling capable and whole and building skills for forming and maintaining satisfying, healthy and supportive relationships.

Long-term goals:
