About the CAASP

For several years now, we (that is certified Anger Solutions(TM) Trainers and Facilitators) tossed around the idea of creating a forum whereby certified Anger Solutions(TM) counsellors, coaches and certified trainers could come together to share best practices, ideas on tailoring the program, and to help each other apply for program funding from various community and government bodies. We finally put that dialogue into action, and in January of 2007, we launched the CAASP. http://www.angersolution.com/association.php

The Canadian Association of Anger Solution(TM) Professionals is dedicated to enhancing the
excellence, enhancement, and professionalism of Anger Solutions(TM) Practitioners, Trainers, and Coaches. The CAASP's temporary website is currently partnered with BRC's until our permanent home on the web is established and fully functional. Members have access to a discussion board through Google Groups (go to http://www.groups.google.com/ and search Canadian Association of Anger Solutions Professionals), blogs (located here at http://angerpros.blogspot.com/), continuing education opportunities, and of course, an annual retreat. My many many thanks to Sandi Harmer (Eastern Ontario) and Tom Caswell (Northern Ontario) for their assistance in planning and executing the plans for the CAASP, and to all of our Certified Trainers and Facilitators for their continued commitment to letting the world in on what we already know - that Anger Solutions(TM) is one of the most effective tools for helping people to resolve their anger and take control of their emotions!

Membership Information is available on the website - http://www.angersolution.com/caaspmembership.php. Membership levels range from Student to Organization. The association's Code of Ethics is also on the site, and there is a list of our certified trainers and facilitators on the site. We hope you will join in our excitement at this next step in the evolution of the program, and that we can count on your involvement.

Don't forget to save the date! September 10-12, 2008 in Barrie, Ontario - the First Annual CAASP Retreat - "Ignite Your Passion!"
