Anger Solutions Updates! Long Overdue!

Hello everyone!
I cannot believe my last posting here was in January of 2015! Where did the year go? God only knows, but here we are, already in the second week of September, and it is long overdue that I give you an update of what is new and exciting in Anger Solutions - and there is LOTS new!

First I need to welcome all of our newly certified Anger Solutions Trainers and Facilitators for 2015 thus far:

First, we will list off those who received their certification through Native Spirit Consulting - thanks to Dennis and Sherri-Lynn for doing such a great job facilitating Anger Solutions!

I also want to extend a special welcome to our Certified Trainers:

  • Norelis Alvarez of St. Catharines, Ontario.

We also just completed a massive Train the Trainer event in Winnipeg, Manitoba for the Manitoba Association of Women's Shelters, training 24 staffs representing ten shelters from across the province. This is exciting news, as this is the first year that we have seen Anger Solutions being offered anywhere in the province of Manitoba. I will be posting the list of graduates from this training in a separate blog post along with some photos of our fun, intense, and engaging 3 days of training. 

Catherine Iezzi from CMHA Sault Ste Marie, also certified two new Facilitators this year in June:
  • Ivana DeHeneau and
  • Luke Palmer.
This has been a CRAZY BUSY year, with lots going on personally and professionally for me, and so again, I apologize for taking so long to getting to this posting. I will try to do better in future :).
