In addition to our student training, we also offer a Trainer Certification Course for schools, districts, or organizations that want to implement the program on a wider level. Led by RISING UP founder, JC Pohl, LMFT, staff members can become a certified trainer for the RISING UP: Coaching Program. This interactive workshop will teach all attendees the importance of peer-to-peer programming and the philosophy behind RISING UP’s SEL curriculum. The training also includes an overview of the program, a hands-on explanation of the modules, and an in-depth guide into how to build resilient students.

In this course you will be taught how to train your student coaches, get them up to speed on our SEL lesson plans, and show them a path way to work with younger students through a powerful mentoring relationship. All SEL lessons can be completed during in-class guidance sessions, advisory periods, special meetings, workshops, or through after-school/lunch time activities. Aligned with the ASCA School Counseling Model this curriculum has been used in anti-bully efforts and heralded as a suicide prevention program that changes lives and strengthens school culture from the inside out.
