“Circumstances make us angry. To overreact to such situations in an uncontrolled manner is its presentation.
But…
To react in a controlled manner and handling the circumstances with a positive attitude is Anger Management.”

Here is one more commitment of GGHS that was appreciated by the audience was “Workshop on Anger Management “.
Under the benign presence of our Vice-Principal Ma’am, Dr. Bhavna Chibber the event was a great success.
