The SCARE Program is an anger and aggression management program for children and adolescents.
The primary goals of the program are to teach young people about emotions, including anger and
aggression, and to help young people recognize alternatives to violent behavior and aggressive
responses. It also aims to encourage young people to make good decisions in response to
provocative situations.
Participants in the SCARE Program demonstrated statistically significant decreases in state
anger and trait anger and increases in anger control when compared to a control group on a
self-report measure.
