Benefits of the ARISE Life-Skills Curricula and Staff Training

ARISE is different in a good way. Lessons are fun and interactive, never boring. No one sits quietly on the sidelines because the learners are involved in activities. They learn from each other, with activities that are engaging, such as role playing, brainstorming, and group discussions. ARISE lessons are self-contained and NOT dependent on previously learned material. The students do not have to know anything about the subject when they enter your class. ARISE is perfect for those with reading difficulties. All workbook pages are easy to read, but the intellectual level of discussion is much higher. ARISE learners can jump right into the action on their first day of class. ARISE material can be used during school, after school, and on weekends…use it everyday!

ARISE materials promote self-growth and effective life skills for underserved and institutionalized young women and men. ARISE takes the "risk" out of at-risk youth. ARISE group sessions show youth how their behavior impacts not just their life, but the life of all those connected to them. Violence and rage is the major cause of conflict in our everyday relationships. Youth in ARISE groups, learn that domestic abuse, road rage, workplace violence, divorce, and addiction are just a few examples of what happens when angeris mismanaged. ARISE anger management lessons work on identifying the feelings that come before the anger; sadness and fear. ARISE talks about anger as a matter of choice and it is usually news to kids that they have a choice and they do have some control over how angry they get. In fact most delinquent youth we have asked think they have been born mad! ARISE is used effectively by those working with children who have been traumatized by abuse or neglect. This program can work with some of the most pained child orphans, neglect victims, juvenile delinquents, and youth with severe psychological and emotional disturbances.
