Why a group about anger?

Anger is a normal, healthy feeling. It often sits on top of hurt, fear, grief or exhaustion, and it can be hard to talk about without feeling judged. A group is a place to talk about what sets it off, what's underneath it, and what helps you stay steady, with people who get it.

Signs anger may be becoming a problem

For information only, not for diagnosing. Anger on its own isn't a mental illness, and this list isn't a diagnosis. Lasting anger can sometimes go with depression, anxiety, trauma or other conditions, which only a doctor or mental health professional can diagnose. If anger is hurting you or the people around you, a doctor or counsellor can help, and if anyone is in danger, call 911 (US) or 999 (UK).

Frequently asked questions

Is the online anger support group free?

Yes. Every group on Heal Kinder is free. Sign up, pick a time that suits you and save a spot. Groups are small live video calls, so there's room for everyone to be heard.

What happens in an anger support group?

The host, or in a guided peer group the Heal Kinder guide, welcomes everyone and goes over a few ground rules: what's shared stays in the group, and passing is always okay. Then people take turns talking about how things have been, and others listen and share what has helped them. You don't have to speak, and many people just listen at their first group.

Can an anger support group replace therapy?

No. It's peer support from people with lived experience, not therapy, medical care or a crisis service. Many members join alongside therapy or treatment and find it helps to talk with people who understand. If you are in danger, call 911 (US) or 999 (UK). In the US you can call or text 988 any time; in the UK, call Samaritans on 116 123.

Between groups, small daily habits help too. How journaling and a daily mood check-in can help with anger

Heal Kinder is peer support: people who've been there, listening and sharing. Many members find it a real help alongside any care they already have, though it isn't therapy or a crisis service. If you are in danger, call 911 (US) or 999 (UK). In the US you can call or text 988 any time; in the UK, call Samaritans on 116 123.
