About the Project
Anger and Irritability Management Skills was built by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Mental Health Services. This free educational and life coaching program is based on a highly effective cognitive behavioral treatment program that has been used successfully with Veterans across the country.
We gratefully acknowledge our Partner Organizations for their generous contributions to the development of this program:
- VA Office of Mental Health & Suicide Prevention aims to insure that all Veterans have access to needed mental health care and advances the principle that mental health care is an essential component of overall health care.
- The National Center for PTSD aims to help U.S. Veterans and others through research, education, and training on trauma and PTSD.
