Revved Up is an anger management initiative designed initially for boys, but relevant to all students.  The program helps young people to recognise their own responses to different stressful situations that occur in everyday life and provides strategies to assist them in relating to other.

HOW REVVED UP WORKS:

The Revved Up program works with students to help them understand feelings of anger and discusses the individual reactions and responses they may have to situations that make them feel angry.  Through the program, students are taught ways of relating positively with others and as a result, how to be aware and considerate of their and other people's feelings.

The workshops are designed to encourage young people to: 

• Examine their behaviour in relation to its effects on others and themselves
• Reflect upon and promote motivation to change negative behaviours
• Gain support from others in the process of positive change

ABOUT THE TRAINING:

Workshops can be delivered directly to teachers or members of the school wellbeing team to equip them to run the program in their school, or Stride facilitators can work directly with young people in your school.

Over the training students will:

• Explore a range of feelings and the negative consequences that can occur if handled inappropriately
• Develop an understanding of our personal reactions and responses to situations
• Learn to change angry energy into positive action by increasing assertion and developing problem solving skills as an alternative to an aggressive response
• Practice ways of relating positively to others so that we consider both our needs and those of other people

"Teachers noted that the boys enjoyed attending sessions and saw it as a positive experience... students have been heard referring to activities and using certain vocabulary... many had developed a keener sense of reflection and will often stop and think before acting".   Rob, secondary school teacher
