Couple’s Anger Management Course
As anger management skills can be directly impacted by a partner, many couples choose to participate in the program together to increase the benefits of the course.
Couples can expect to discuss how each member of the couple contributes to the conflict cycle. We find that this allows for mutual growth and understanding and quicker resolution to the inevitable conflicts that arise in intimate relationships.

Total Cost: $960 +GST ($160 + GST per one-hour session).

Intensives for Individuals, Couples or Families
Sometimes a one-hour session just isn’t enough time, and a longer session can really help tackle what’s on your mind and get better results. We’ve got something called an “intensive” that’s proven helpful for anyone dealing with tougher issues, especially couples or families needing extended time to talk things out. You can book these for three hours or more, but if you want, they can be as long as one, two or three days. Also, we offer lower hourly rates for these longer sessions. For more information, give us a call at 204-334-4801 or an email at contact@riverbendcounselling.ca.
