ARISE Life Skills Curricula and Staff Training is Evidence Based

Evidence-Based Reports and Evaluations
We are blessed by the positive changes that have been made in the lives of at-risk youth who have been part of the ARISE program. Susan and I as founders of ARISE salute the dedicated people who conduct the ARISE groups with troubled often violent teens. For the past 15 years ARISE has been proud to offer solid evidence of impactful changes being made by its evidence based ,strength-centered curricula and staff training.

ARISE life-skills programs are based on five psychological models. We pride ourselves on the work we have accomplished that have been positively evaluated by several evidence-based studies. During the past 25 years, not one, not two, but three University of Miami tenured professors attested to the effectiveness of ARISE life-skills curricula and staff trainings in evidence-based studies. Please feel free to review the University of Miami study as well as other progress reports that we have submitted to various agencies about our work.
