Juvenile Justice Detention Services Staff Convene in Tampa for ARISE Master Life Skills Training

Over a dozen staff members from Florida’s Department of Juvenile Justice are in Tampa this  week to participate in an ARISE 5-Day Master Life Skills Trainer workshop. When the group graduates on Friday, April 30th, they will walk out the door with a brand-new skill set. This five-day intensive training certifies participants as ARISE Master Life Skills Trainers, enabling them to conduct the ARISE two-day (14 hours) Life Skills Instructor Training where they will professionally certify colleagues at their respective detention centers in the central region as ARISE Group Facilitators.

The graduates will also be provided with ARISE Life Skills curricula which they and those they train will use to conduct the one hour ARISE guided group sessions with incarcerated at-risk youth several times each week. There are no requirements to join, as participation by the youth in ARISE   groups   is voluntary. ARISE provides the perfect combination of training and curriculum for staff working with troubled youth who have behavioral, academic, motivational and emotional challenges

Those certified by these freshly”appointed ARISE Master Trainers as ARISE Life Skills Group  Facilitators are able to keep the attention of restless youth and  conduct breakthrough, interactive guided group discussions and  activities, applying basic concepts of learning and positivism that are  particularly successful with those youth that have learning problems and  behavioral issues.
