Academic Support

Academic performance is the most measurable indicator of how well you are coping with real-world circumstances. We work with you to set realistic goals, develop sustainable study habits, and establish academic accountability.

Therapeutic Clinical Support

We provide individual, group, and family therapy, clinical parent coaching, and regular therapeutic updates to parents/guardians. Optional psychiatric services with customized medication management plans are available.

Individual & Social Support

Motivation is influenced by relationships between you, your mentors, and your peers. One-on-one mentoring, community-wide events, and smaller, student-organized activities encourage meaningful social connections.

Colleges Benefit From Our Collaborative Approach

Did You Know?

About 76% of students with mental conditions have experienced a health crisis on their college campus, yet 37% of them said that their institution was unaware.

A record number of college students are in need of treatment, although colleges are unaware or can’t keep up, causing their drop-out rates to increase. Leaving mental and emotional conditions untreated results in an alarming average drop-out rate of 33%. Send your students to The Arise Society transition center, and after approximately a year with us, they can return to your campus. This way, they will be prepared to handle courses, stress, and campus life after they’ve received our individualized support.

Instead of dropping out, and after completing their time at The Arise Society, students can then finish their degree and graduate with a diploma from their original university or university of choice.

Attend Utah Valley University

Serving the largest student body in the state of Utah, UVU is an open-enrollment college that operates year-round, on both semester and block schedules. Its diverse offerings include a multitude of two-year associate’s degrees, four-year bachelor’s degrees, graduate programs, and vocational certifications. Located within walking distance, UVU is the perfect option for students enrolled in our transition center program.

Student Life at the Transition Center

We work and play alongside our students, sharing valuable learning experiences that draw relevance to the practical application of their therapeutic work.

Discover the Beauty of Utah

We are located in the center of Utah, a beautiful state that offers a safe environment with an abundance of outdoor activities. Utah boasts prime access to world-class skiing, snowboarding, biking, climbing and hiking. Its natural beauty offers exciting outdoor experiences for every season. Students at our transition center will never run out of wholesome outdoor adventures.

The staff are always available and connect very deeply with students. Group work is the best I’ve ever had, and activities are always a blast!

The Arise Society transition center​ helped my daughter transition from high school to college life with ease and strengthened our relationship.

Why The College Setting?

We chose the college setting because young adults transition into adulthood and independence through the college environment. Often we have our own challenges with depression, anxiety, addiction, and other various problems. But we understand being functional doesn’t mean getting rid of these problems, it means to cope with them – and at the same time be successful in our lives.
