“Our facility uses the ARISE Life Skills Work in Progress series “Anger Management” book.  We are currently working on the “Cage the Rage” lesson which is part of this book.   Our youth love the worksheets which are not too long and leave plenty of time for discussion after the worksheets are completed.”

“The most helpful part of the online training was having interactive activities/assignments throughout the lesson. Actually seeing people go through the training and possibly asking questions that you have is also helpful. The trainer was really enthused, energetic, and knowledgeable about the curriculum. She wanted to make sure that the trainees had a clear understanding of what was being taught and the contents being transmitted..”

April Easterling, Dundedin, Michigan

“The most positive experience was to see this difference the lesson made in the lives of the youth and to witness the youth change for the better.” “Yes! I thank God for ARISE because the lessons have not only helped me with the youth, but the lessons also helped me personally.” “The youth have become much more committed to their life goals.” “Since becoming an ARISE Life Skill Instructor I have seen youth become more interested in life.”
