Greetings from ARISE!

  • The remarkable, life-changing ARISE Drop It at the Door training has been expanded to five days. Each day covers a different topic related to building healthy personal and professional relationships and controlling your emotions at home and at work. ARISE has taken each concept and built entire days of training around each one. Day one focuses exclusively on anger management. Day two is all about improving your life through paying attention to the way you conduct yourself, from your thoughts, emotions and body language to the way you deal with difficult people. Day three is about managing stress. Day three provides participants with an array of useful tips, tools and strategies for getting a grip on stress, including time management and meditation techniques. Day four is all about communication. Using the skills learned in the previous three days, participants will learn how to negotiate and communicate effectively with those around them. Day five closes the week by tying all the concepts together in order to be happier at home and at work. Spending more time on these important topics allows participants to truly learn and absorb them. Your staff comes away from training with a new mindset that will hopefully radiate out to everyone they come in contact with.
  • You can subscribe to 365 Good Vibe emails and receive insightful quotes delivered to your inbox each day. Think of it has a burst of positive thoughts to focus on throughout your day.
  • The new ARISE website has a host of new features, including a brand-new downloadable book section, featuring digital versions of the ARISE life skills curricula at half the prices of the hardcover books, and a sleeker interface.
  • ARISE has two new anthologies rolling off the printing presses. Gangs: 50+ Stories of Fractured Lives is a powerful gang prevention tool filled with original fiction written by people from all over the country, as well as firsthand accounts from incarcerated gang members sharing the wreckage their lives have become as a result of gangs. This book is a perfect addition to any gang prevention program, because a memorable story resonates with everyone. The stories teach valuable lessons about the perils of life in a gang.

Once again, ARISE would like to thank its champions in congress. Through the support of the ARISE champions, the ARISE Intervention and Reentry program for incarcerated juvenile offenders provides public safety for communities across the state of Florida.


ARISE Foundation announces the creation of an exciting series of eye-opening motivational posters, each featuring an important lesson for at-risk youth.

December 22, 2011

balloon-poster-color-finalIn its continuous effort to find fresh, interesting ways to get in under the radar of at-risk and incarcerated youth, ARISE Foundation has created a series of empowering posters that use compelling images and pointed phrases to teach lessons about vital life skills.

Each poster illustrates a fundamental skill or drives home a point in a simple, straightforward manner. Susan and Edmund Benson, the founders of ARISE Foundation, believe that the best way to reach young people is through potent images and easily understood, engaging lessons. The ARISE Motivational posters touch on key issues facing at-risk populations: drug and alcohol abuse, staying in school, domestic violence, self esteem, gang violence, anger management, graffiti and much more. The ARISE posters use original artwork and catchy phrases to get kids and teens thinking.

ARISE motivational posters can be used to inspire group discussions. They are a fantastic tool to engage youth and get them talking about their own experiences and opinions. Each poster is a self-contained life skills lesson. They stand on their own or can be used to enhance the activities in the ARISE Life Skills library. The impact of a gripping image and a powerful phrase cannot be overstated. Each poster has the potential to reach at-risk youth the way nothing else can

To view and purchase posters in a wide variety of sizes, visit the ARISE website. There are even free ARISE motivational posters available for download.
