If you have been told to complete Family Violence Education, you may be trying to answer several questions at once. What is this program? Is it therapy? Is it the same thing as anger management? Who gets the completion paperwork? And how do you know whether a provider will meet the requirement you were given?

If you have been told to complete anger management, you may have mixed feelings about it. Maybe you feel embarrassed. Maybe you feel defensive. Maybe you believe the situation was misunderstood. Maybe you know something has to change, but you are not sure where to begin.

When CPS becomes involved with your family, it can feel like everything is happening at once. You may be trying to understand paperwork, attend meetings, follow a service plan, manage fear, repair relationships, protect your children, and prove that change is happening.
