Resiliency Increasing Skills and Education (RISE)
The RISE program is an elementary and middle school-based, voluntary program that uses evidence-based strategies. Eligibility criteria are determined by referral only through parents, school guidance counselors, deans, and teachers. RISE targets multiple risk factors including but not limited to personal and social issues, family issues, and school behavior/academic issues. The program focuses on teaching increased personal development and life skills, in order to help the youth make positive choices and lead healthy and productive lives. Students may participate in the evidence-based Too Good for Drugs curriculum, Botvin Life Skills Training, SS GRIN group, stress management group, anger management group, grief support group, and others. Students may also receive individual support on an as-needed basis. RISE programs are located in 34 Santa Rosa County schools and 7 Okaloosa County schools.
