My grandson's grade school offered a group like thing where they talked about different type of emotions and how to deal with some of them. I don't know everything thing that program offered. I know that they helped him understand that everyone has emotions and he talked about finding a quiet place on the playground for when he was too mad to play because it's not good to play soccer when angry (his words). You could see if the school has something like that or if you are in a large enough city, there might be a group that you could find.
Personally, I'm mixed on it. I wished my parents would have caught my issues and got me help; however, I could also see how for other kids it might send the message that you are not ok.
