ARISE CHOICES: Drop It at the Door Training
Anger Management, Stress Reduction, & Interpersonal and Communication Skills

"Confrontations are down, incidents are down, and people are happy."

-- Pete Zeeger, Facility Administrator
Avon Park Youth Academy, Avon Park, FL

The benefits of the ARISE CHOICES Drop It at The Door training on anger management, stress reduction, and interpersonal skills are crystal clear. Staff who have attended the CHOICES training have told us that ARISE has provided important techniques for improving their work with difficult populations. The benefits also have spread to their homes, where personal relationships are often broken and need repairs. The boomerang effect of stress and anger from home to work and back again is eliminated.

CHOICES Training Overview

ARISE's CHOICES: Drop It at the Door is a one or two-day workshop for managing stress and anger and building interpersonal and communication skills. Each day of training can be offered separately or combined for maximum impact.

This intensive staff training workshop is guaranteed to improve individual effectiveness by providing the know-how needed to dramatically decrease and avoid angry outbursts, loss of self-control, and meltdowns that cause stress and frustration at home and in the workplace. This training is beneficial for anyone who walks, talks, breathes, and interacts in society today. These fresh, lively workshops will not only prepare participants to understand and verbally disarm difficult people, but it will also teach them how to avoid daily disasters by using simple yet effective tactics and techniques learned during this training experience.

Participants will come away with a solid understanding of how each of us can choose to drop anger, stress, negativity, and frustration at the door. Today, it makes sense to alert employees that life's problems should not be carried back and forth from work to home and vice versa. ARISE CHOICES provides the keys for handling and diffusing anger and stress. Once this information is absorbed, we can finally make sense of the relentless tension and pressure we face. This new awareness immediately increases personal and work-related performance.


ARISE CHOICES Participants learn the importance of gratitude.

Ideal for:

• People working with difficult youth
• Customer service representatives dealing with difficult customers
• Youth sanctioned to learn to manage their anger
• People desirous of balancing stress at work home
• People dealing with negative, stressed, angry or frustrated others
