COPE Family Support offers comprehensive, court-approved anger management classes designed to help individuals and families build healthier, more peaceful relationships. Taught by certified specialists through the National Anger Management Association, these classes provide proven tools to identify triggers, manage emotions, and change destructive behavior patterns. Whether participants are court-ordered to attend or simply seeking personal growth, COPE’s program helps parents and caregivers restore balance in their homes, improve communication, and rebuild trust with their children.

Recognized by over 20 courts across the Bay Area—including Contra Costa, Alameda, San Francisco, and Santa Clara Counties—COPE’s anger management program fulfills legal requirements while emphasizing personal empowerment and emotional awareness. Participants learn that anger itself is not the problem; it is a natural response that can reveal when something feels unfair or unsafe. The key lies in understanding and channeling anger into constructive action.

Through structured sessions, clients explore the root causes of anger, gain skills to de-escalate conflicts, and practice healthier communication strategies. The result is improved emotional control, stronger relationships, and a renewed sense of calm and confidence. COPE’s compassionate instructors create a supportive environment where change is possible, offering both English and upcoming Spanish-language classes to serve diverse families. By transforming anger into understanding, COPE Family Support helps individuals and families thrive at home and beyond.
