Principle 1:

Youth and families have the opportunity to Restore.

Restoration may be with their family, with the community, or themselves. RISE staff will work with youth to mend relationships that may have been broken and assist to create a healthy approach to living.

Principle 2:

Change happens when the whole person becomes healthier. RISE services are Integrative and include all aspects of the individual.

Services are provided to include the youth’s family, community, and environment. These services also incorporate wellness practices through the lens of SAHMSA’s 8 Dimensions of Wellness. The goal of the integrative approach is to help the youth to achieve overall wellness.

Principle 3:

Individuals and families have the internal and external assets and strengths to overcome their circumstances. A Strength-based approach builds on the assets of the youth and family to facilitate change.

RISE utilizes a Strength-based approach and builds on both internal and external assets and strengths of  the youth and family

Principle 4:

Treatment is an active experience. Youth and families are engaged in treatment through various Experiential opportunities.

The name RISE is intended as a noun and a verb. We work with youth and families to be active in their treatment experience and move towards change.
