Assessment & Action Plan: Frequently Asked Questions
Most people who reach out already know something isn't working. What they usually don't have yet is a precise, accurate name for it. The Assessment & Action Plan exists to close that gap, and it's the starting point for every program SAMI Group offers, for good reason.
What Is the Assessment & Action Plan?
A structured behavioral assessment that identifies your conflict pattern, your specific triggers, and the conduct that's actually working against you, followed by a written action plan built to change it. It's not a generic personality quiz. It's a targeted look at what's happening in your specific situation and why.
Why Is This the Starting Point for Every Program?
Every effective training program needs a clear, accurate starting picture, otherwise you risk working on the wrong thing entirely. The assessment identifies the actual pattern at play before any further work begins, which means whatever program you move into afterward, anger management, relationship skills training, mediation readiness, is built around your real situation instead of a generic curriculum.
What Does the Assessment Actually Measure?
The assessment work is grounded in an extensive, research-based foundation for social and emotional development, drawing on more than a hundred research papers and studies and a large, established participant norm base. That level of grounding is part of why the results hold up as more than just a surface-level read on what's happening.
What Do I Receive at the End?
A written action plan, built specifically around what the assessment reveals about your conflict pattern and triggers. This becomes the roadmap for what to work on and, if needed, which further SAMI Group program is the right next step.
How Long Does the Assessment Take?
It's a single structured session, with the written action plan delivered afterward.
How Much Does It Cost?
The Assessment & Action Plan is $300.
Do I Need to Know Which Program I Want Before Booking This?
No. That's exactly what this is for. If you're not sure whether you need anger management training, relationship skills work, mediation preparation, or something else entirely, the assessment is what clarifies that, rather than guessing and starting in the wrong place.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Assessment & Action Plan required before other programs? It's strongly recommended as the starting point, since it ensures whatever program follows is built around your actual pattern rather than assumptions.
Can I just do the assessment without moving into a full program afterward? Yes. Some people complete the assessment for clarity alone and decide from there whether further work makes sense.
Is this the same as therapy or a clinical diagnosis? No. This is a structured behavioral assessment focused on identifying conflict patterns and building a practical action plan, not a clinical or diagnostic process.
How soon can I get an appointment? Scheduling is available directly through consultation booking, typically within a matter of days.
Where This Leaves You
Most people already sense that something is off long before they can describe it precisely. The Assessment & Action Plan turns that sense into something concrete: a documented pattern and a written plan for changing it. Everything else built at SAMI Group starts from that same clarity.
