Our practices are based from historical teachings, scientific research, and ancient philosophies, comprised of short stories, paragraphs, readings, which are all tied to an inspirational methodology based on practical measures to overcome adversity, hardship, and difficulty, and all with the purpose to become better.

When a young person or an adult chooses R.I.S.E and uses the Practices, they are learning skills that empower them to face life’s challenges in different and unique ways. Our programming focuses on creating an environment for social-emotional learning through Cognitive Behavior Theory (CBT) which influences (SEL).  R.I.S.E aligns the developmental needs of humans with the 5 CASEL  competencies.

 The Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) defines SEL as “the process through which all young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions.”  

The whole school program's focus is geared to educate the staff on the background and science of resilience. The whole school/staff  program is for building the education and morale of the staff through activities and edutainment.  The online course consists of 22 practices of resilience training.

As a registered nonprofit the programming and online course are free. We ask  for donations for the professional development training sessions we provide. For customized professional development for your district, school, business, or youth program, please contact us.
