Family and Children Center - RISE

The RISE program provides a supportive framework for youth facing mental health challenges, offering tailored services designed to equip them with effective coping skills. Through workshops, individual counseling, and peer support, participants learn strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and other mental health issues, enabling them to regain confidence and facilitate their return to school. By fostering resilience and emotional well-being, RISE aims to empower young individuals to thrive academically and personally. Replacing illegal activities with healthy alternatives can be effectively achieved by encouraging individuals to explore new hobbies that promote personal growth, creativity, and social interaction.

The RISE Program provides mental health skill-based services to give at-risk youth in Winona an opportunity to learn, grow, socialize and participate in opportunities to enrich their lives and discourage them from unhealthy and unlawful activities. We are looking for volunteers to come in and assist students with their homework (middle and high school level) as part of our initiatives.
