The Environment
RISE is known for its culture. It is high expectation and high support.
“...we believe that the only limits to your potential are the ones you impose upon yourself”
WE ARE SERIOUS ABOUT IMPROVING THE MENTAL HEALTH OF ALL YOUNG PEOPLE. IT IS OUR DUTY OF CARE AND COMMITMENT TO THE INDUSTRY WE LOVE.
We provide the most supportive high performance environment and teach participants the skills to manage their mental and emotional health. We believe these skills to be just as important as the physical development of an artist. We mentor our young people to develop positive self talk, self esteem, resilience and metal toughness.
Ongoing connection is an important part of the program. Participants will stay connected with RISE through check ins, connection with the directors and mentors and access to further programs. We are dedicated to the ongoing development of all young people involved in RISE.
