Certification Training

Are you interested in offering anger management services but don’t feel qualified or prepared?  Anger Management Essentials (AME) is a three-day live certification training for those who are interested in providing anger management services. Anger management classes can be offered by anyone who goes through the three-day training by a National Anger Management Association (NAMA) approved trainer. If you’re a mental health professional, coach, teacher, pastor, addiction counselor or probation counselor, this training would be a great addition to your work.

 

AME is a NAMA Authorized Certification Program that offers 21 CEs through NASW and CEPA (California Board of Behavioral Sciences). An additional CE is offered via CEPA for completing the one-hour home study course. Anita Avedian, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, is a NAMA approved supervisor and trainer who hosts a monthly training. AME not only offers training at various cities and states, but also offers both private and semi-private training sessions for agencies upon request.
