“I have really enjoyed taking this course as it has helped me become a better person overall. I can now better manage my anger, and I’m not going to let it control me anymore. I plan on taking all the tools I have learned so far and will apply them to everyday life.”

“I have learned to be a calmer person and how to think about different situations more clearly. I also learned to better care for my family at home. I learned that alcohol is not a good thing for me. In addition, I want to let my wife and kids make more of the decisions so that, as a result, the family will be happier.”

“I have enjoyed participating in the PARS program and have learned a great deal about people, feelings, how to address stressful situations, and how to approach others positively. I admit that I have started to approach each day with more positivity and have gone as far as helping strangers.”

“I have learned how to walk away from conflicts to prevent arguments from escalating. I now realize others have the right to be upset with me, and that is not something to be angry about. I can choose not to be angry and enjoy the day. I can only control my own actions, so it’s up to me to walk away.”
