By investing time and effort into this program, attendees will be presented with educational options to resist aggression. Attendees will also be asked to raise their awareness of aggressive behavior, recognize how aggressive behavior impacts their lives, take steps to avoid aggressive behavior, and to look at how they can be part of reducing aggression and violence.
