Abstrakt: Anger could be an early warning signal of violent behavior. Early peer education health promotion in relation to anger management could help children before uncontrolled anger becomes a problem in adolescence and adulthood. Peer education has been identified as a viable intervention strategy worldwide with various prevention programs for youth. The purpose of this article is to describe an anger management program (Teaching Kids to Cope with Anger, TKC-A 4th—8th graders) co-led by high school peer educators in an urban school district’s summer school enhancement program. A program of five modules will be described. This paper discusses the peer educator implementation and recommendations for future implementation. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
