Old Colony continues to offer an Anger Management Group conducted during the school day. Melissa Whelan, School Adjustment Counselor and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, and Anne Spirlet, Guidance Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Clinician, run the group.

The group is not mandatory or a requirement of the school. The purpose of the group is to help students learn how to recognize triggers that make them angry and more appropriate methods of handling their anger. Each student meets individually to discuss the purpose of this group, as well as elicit their attendance. Parental permission is required for student participation.

Further information concerning the program can be received by calling Anne Spirlet at Old Colony 508-763-8011, ext. 128.
