The Cognitive Relaxation Coping Skills (CRCS) program has been adapted to work with middle school students to help them increase control over their own emotions. Participants are taught methods for relaxation and attitude change and how to use those skills to control their feelings of anger when dealing with frustrating situations. Evaluation results show the program is effective at reducing a range of negative outcomes, including anger, anxiety, depression, general deviance, and deviant behavior at school.
