The RISE Social + Emotional Learning (SEL) program for students and their caregivers offering: a school program, assessment and intensive support for children aged 8-12 years of age with complex needs and their families. This program is a partnership with MCFD, TCF and the Surrey School Board (SSB).
Key Message:
We believe that children and families thrive best in a strengths-based environment. Families are at the centre of services and supports are collaborative, culturally sensitive, individualized and flexible. We are trauma-informed and attachment based.
What we do:
RISE offers a school program, assessment and intensive supports for children with complex needs and their families. We provide a small, supported and structured classroom environment for our students; we also offer a range of child and family intervention programs. RISE helps children and their families understand and manage the impacts of their complex needs.
Our team is multi-disciplinary and composed of a child and family therapist; teacher; outreach workers; child and youth care workers (psychologists, social workers) and other professionals providing consultations, assessments and interventions. Parents are an essential part of the team and are included in all aspects of planning, goal-setting and decision-making.
