WHAT IS ARISE?

ARISE is a three-phase behavioral modification program that is built into our shelter program. It consists of three main elements:

​

1.  A three-phase progressive structure

2. Individualized, in-house case management

3. A therapeutic community designed to provide accountability with support

THE PHASES

PHASE 1: 

​

A curriculum of 48 foundation-building classes consisting of the following topic areas:

​

- Core Skills (behavioral skills, character skills)

- Principles of Reintegration (thinking errors and counterproductive behaviors)

- Life Skills 

- Behavior Change Modules

- Coping Modules

- Self-Discovery

- Yoga/Meditation and Mindfulness

- Employment Skills

- Budgeting and Finance

​

PHASE 2:

​

A highly individualized phase completed in collaboration with an assigned in-house case manager, and can consist of - but is not limited to - any of the following:

​

- Resume building, job searches

- Recovering identity documents

- Applying for eligible benefits and programs

- Applying for eligible housing programs

- Coordination with mental health and substance use disorder treatment/dual diagnosis

- Budget setting

- Actively budgeting and saving

- Referral to community supports

​

Phase 2 also consists of 8 weeks of introspective assignments with the ARISE Coordinator.

​

PHASE 3:

​

The final phase before a resident's transition. This collaborative effort between resident and case manager is also highly individualized and generally consists of:

​

- Housing searches

- Furniture bank referrals

- Arranging for continuity of services and treatment post-transition

- Coordination with other ICMs or entities connected to the resident's case, such as probation officers, CRS/CPS workers, or visiting nurses

​

Phase 3 also consists of a community give-back project which residents must design, get approved, and complete.
