Court-ordered anger management in Michigan
Program: Court-ordered anger management (a general education/counseling condition ordered at the judge's discretion). Michigan has no single named statewide "anger management" program. In domestic-violence cases courts instead order a Batterer Intervention Program (BIP) / Batterer Intervention Services (BIS) that must meet the Batterer Intervention Standards for the State of Michigan — a separate, longer, regulated program.

Program: SMILE (Start Making It Livable for Everyone) — the Friend of the Court parent-education program
Ordered to something that isn't listed here? This page lists only the Michigan requirements we have verified against official state, court or agency sources — it is not a complete list of everything a Michigan judge can order. If your order names a class we haven't covered, the court or agency named on your paperwork is the authority on it.
Independent directory: NextStep Counseling is an independent information site. We are not a court, a government agency, or a class provider, and no court endorses this site or any provider listed on it. Requirements change and vary by case, county and judge — always confirm the exact class, format, hours and an accepted provider with the court that ordered you before you enroll or pay.
