Yes, first get them to speak to GP - I did a couple of years ago and doc was really understanding and non-judgmental - OK, so I had to wait a couple of months before I got onto a course, by which time the issue had resolved itself, but I still found it really useful - best bit was most of the other people on the course were really "normal" people who you would never think had problems with anger, which made me feel better about it.

Someone I know needed this. I think the best thing to do is speak to GP and they will say whether anger management course is possible in that area.
It is a postcode lottery type of thing. Some areas will have someone to help, others wont.

Alternatively, look in yellow pages and find a qualified therapist (under counsellors, I think) but this can be an expensive option.

Hope that helps.

a close family member really needs help with managing anger. I appreciate they need to make the first move themselves, but would like to know what the options are so I know how best to steer them. thanks.

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
