Get Over It

GET OVER IT! is a group for young men aged 14 - 17 years who have problems with strong emotions, anger and aggression. GetOverIt runs over a 6 - 8 week period and is a shared program between MARP and the Family Therapy Team at Lifeline.  The group is run at 17 Long St, Toowoomba.

Each of the sessions will focus on helping young men identify the triggers and contexts for the experience of strong emotions, how they react to strong emotions and how they can develop healthy strategies.  GetOverIt! also focuses on the different roles young men have and how strong emotions including anger can cause problems in one or all of them. 

There is no charge to attend the group.  A meeting with at least one facilitator and receiving informed consent from both the parents/guardians and participants is necessary before attendance at the group.  During the 6 -8 weeks of group work we anticipate significant changes in young men's behaviour.  To encourage such changes, we also offer support to the families and schools of participants. How such support is organized will be addressed at this meeting with the facilitator. 

To reiterate, during the 6 - 8 weeks we will look at what triggers anger, and where violence and aggression come from, as well as what can be done to make sure we stay in control and not let anger hurt ourselves or those around us.  The group offers confidentiality, safety and support, and where necessary referral for ongoing counselling and support will be arranged. 

If you would like to register an interest please use the contact tool bar and forward your name, contact number and the best time to phone between 9am - 5pm.

The sessions are run in Toowoomba between 3.30pm & 5.30pm either on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday afternoon.
