Parent FAQs at Arise

Yes. The Arise Society is licensed as an intensive outpatient program and is audited annually.

Our relationship-based approach uses connection, clinical experience, and practical guidance to help young adults find their own reasons to engage and make progress. Parents are often part of that work, too.

Therapy helps your young adult understand and work through problems that can get in the way of healthy relationships and productivity. The goal is to build insight and skills they can use in everyday life.

Each student’s day reflects their individual plan. Students get ready for school, work, or both, and connect with therapists, mentors, and the Productivity Coordinator for the support they need. They may also attend group therapy, join a club, spend time with friends, or take some downtime.

Evenings may include a program activity, one-on-one mentor time, homework, games, or dating. Daily life also includes cooking, meal preparation, grocery shopping, laundry, and appointments as students practice living more independently.

Parents receive weekly updates. Each family also has a designated Parent Coordinator with expertise in parent coaching who can answer questions and help address concerns.

Families typically plan for about a year of full support. Many alumni stay connected with the Arise community for years afterward.

Our full-time Productivity Coordinator helps students work toward school and employment goals, with connections at Utah Valley University (UVU) and nearby employers. Some students also pursue technical training at Mountainland Technical College (MTECH).

We encourage regular contact between parents and their young adult, whether families visit Arise or students visit home. Families and the program work together to plan visits around each student’s needs and schedule.

Students typically share a two-bedroom apartment near campus with one other student. Each student has their own bedroom and bathroom. Apartments include major appliances, a washer and dryer, and garbage valet service.
