Guest Speaker:  Joshua Belsky, MSW, LCSW, Director of Passaic County Screening Program, St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center

Anger is a normal, healthy human emotion. Enabling children to recognize when they are angry and appropriately express this emotion can be challenging for school personnel and parents. Mr. Belsky will explain the differences between productive and non-productive expressions of anger, discuss the causes of anger for children and adolescents and outline intervention strategies for school personnel when handling youngsters with anger issues. He will also offer guidelines for working with both parents and mental health agencies.

This program will be held at William Paterson University, 1600 Valley Road, Wayne.
