As children reach their pre-teen years, they become more likely to face personal challenges and, while everyone is different, some may have more trouble than others when it comes to adjusting to situations that alter their emotions. The Salvation Army’s Red Cap Program focuses on giving participants a guide on how to identify their emotions and how to express them in a healthy way as a form of anger management.

Red Cap is an eight-week program open to children between the ages of 8 to 12. The program uses different techniques in its lessons to help them understand what emotions might precede anger.

The Red Cap Program is run by Salvation Army volunteers who are well-trained and screened. Teaching students how to cope with their anger and process their emotions can prevent future aggressive or violent reactions.
