About
The Center for Resilience and Well-Being is a resource center within the Prevention Science Program at the Institute of Behavioral Science (IBS).
Resilience in Schools & Educators
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.
