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

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

​
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

- 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
​
