Under Control:
Weather you have severe anger, moderate anger or barley experience thoughts
of anger it is best to know how to control it. The most simple and effective ways
include:

Try using calming thoughts like "let it go" to help you step away from the
situation. Practice expressing your feelings with phrases like “I don’t like
that,” “I’m frustrated because…” or “I’m hurt when you…” to explain how
the situation affects you.

Practicing deep breathing exercices can help calm your mind and body
when your angry or stressed. One popular technique is the 4-4-4 method:
inhale deeply for a count of 4, hold your breath for 4 seconds, and then

activate the body's relaxation response, slowing the heart rate and
easing tension in the muscles.

Act—offer a constructive style for addressing the situation: agree with the
facts, acknowledge the emotional impact, apologize if necessary, and
take action to correct or prevent further conflict. This approach helps you
express your feelings more calmly and regain control over your
emotions.

 Budget For the Ministry of Health
To the Ministry of Health: Today I will be pitching you an idea of a budget to put into helping people with their anger
management.
Budget: 1million TREK dollars:

Community Support – $250,000

Fund support groups across cities. To encourage people to talk out their feeling instead of keeping them in.

Therapy & Coaching – $450,000

Right now therapy and counselling is typically not free for B.C residents. There are certain types of therapy that individuals
may go to for free or low costs but not the right types of therapy for their needs. Certain types of therapy like
psychotherapy, require you to pay for it.

Tech Tools – $200,000

Develop an anger management app with tracking and coping exercises for users.

Public Awareness Campaign – $100,000

Media Campaign: Launch a targeted online and social media campaign to raise awareness about anger management, expert
advice, and practical tips.

Implementing these actions will help reduce the number of people who struggle to express their anger in healthy ways. It
will also make support services accessible to everyone, not just a select few.
