  • “I wanted you to know that ARISE has contributed to the very low female population we are now experiencing. As a matter of fact, this facility is at a record low for girls! Our regulars are not re-offending! I feel this is because all our females get the ARISE program three to four times a week. There is no doubt this is contributing to the very low recidivism rate among this population. We mainly have new offenders coming in. I also want you to know that our girls love ARISE, and when something interrupts them from having a session, they are not happy.”by Morena Hyde-Lancaster (Lead Correctional Officer & Certified ARISE Life Skills Instructor) -Youth Rehabilitation Center - Washington, DC
  • “I would like to take this opportunity to thank ARISE for creating a curriculum that is easy to present and understand…(excerpt from letter).

  • “It allows you to interact with the youth, and get their viewpoints/opinion on various subjects which really allows you to get to know them better. It helps me to present problem solving techniques that are non-violent.”by Sharon Williams (Youth Care Worker) -Bristol Youth Academy - Bristol, FL
  • “ARISE is non-threatening and allows youth to express themselves openly. ARISE holds the youths' interest so they learn more as their participation increases. Along with the youth, I have learned things about the topic that I didn't know before teaching ARISE. It not only helps me deal with the youth in the facility, but I have found that it is beneficial in helping me with my own family and friends. The youth really respond to the material. There is rarely a lack of participation. The lessons are easy to teach and through ARISE I have learned how to teach groups and have more confidence in myself. I have seen a rise in youth self-esteem because learners realize that their thoughts and feelings matter.”by Deondra Scott (Youth Care Worker) -Bristol Youth Academy - Bristol, FL
