How We Can Help

Our relationship-based, free-choice model allows us to understand and explore motivational barriers and customize success plans tailored specifically to your needs. We do this by focusing mainly on Academic support, Therapeutic support, and Individual & Social support.

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.

ACADEMIC SUPPORT

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.

THERAPEUTIC SUPPORT

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.

WHY COLLEGES BENEFIT

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.
