Resilience in Schools & Educators

RISE

RISE is an adult-centered, trauma-responsive prevention program that builds educator social emotional skills, intentional environments, and safe supportive relationships to foster resilience and well-being for everyone at school.

Decades of research have revealed that one essential protective factor for youth is having a safe, supportive relationship with an adult. RISE was developed to help educators have the support, skills, and tools they need to be that adult.

RISE Implementation

RISE is a comprehensive program that we recommend implementing over the course of 3 years, to increase sustainability and achieve whole-school saturation.

Cohort Evaluations

We have measured the impact of RISE on hundreds of educators across Colorado since 2017.  While there are differences at each building, and from year-to-year, there are consistencies too:
