Quite the contrary.

Words are powerful. Harsh words spoken to a child can resonate throughout their life, as can words of encouragement. Words have the ability to elevate someone to their highest potential or shred their self esteem.

ARISE created this poster around the power of words. It’s just one of hundreds of motivational posters and materials created to help illustrate important ideas.  Each poster uses images and direct, to-the-point text to illustrate everything from the importance of staying in school and away from drugs to avoiding poisons around the home.  In a world of constant advertising built around bite-sized snippets of information, posters are a way to provide valuable lessons in a quick, impactful way. Each book in the ARISE Life Skills library features several different posters, each meant to provoke thought and inspire conversation.  These colorful, original pieces of art come in all sizes, from portable 11″ x 17″ sizes to the beautiful wall-sized 24″ x 36″ versions.
