"We were fortunate to bring Rise Together to our intermediate school to wrap-up our all school book read. Rise Together is a professional organization that connects with adolescents, uses relevant stories to promote acceptance and provides support beyond the presentation. The number one reason our students responded to this organization was due to how authentic each speaker was. Each speaker shared their story in a way that was meaningful and made a connection with students. The stories were detailed enough for students to understand the situation but tailored for the age of the audience. Not only did speakers share their challenges, but they also shared how they learned to forgive themselves and accept who they are. This is important message for students and adults hoping to move past mistakes or missteps. Sometimes, we just need permission to let those things go. When presenting to adolescents, one must be engaging and willing to connect to the audience. Rise Together was very effective in establishing a purpose behind their message and what they hoped students would walk away with. We were able to see this was not your ordinary “Say No to Drugs” presentation. These were real people, who have gone and continue to go through real challenges and are hoping to share a little of what they have learned along the way. The students were hooked and you could have heard a pin drop in the room. This presentation provided a safe place for students to share their own challenges and really discuss how these challenges impact their daily lives. Lastly, we are appreciative of the support our students and staff received for the Rise Together organization. The speakers connected with students over lunch which allowed students to talk one-on-one with the speakers and be heard. Yet the speakers recognized that they are not mental health professionals and referred students to counselors as needed. The speakers met with our staff at the end of the day to share the stories they heard and to give insights as to the common challenges our students face. We learned a lot! About a week after the presentation, Rise Together sent us a survey for the students to take. This data is helping our school determine what our next steps should be to support our students. Overall, we were very impressed with the Rise Together organization’s presentation and message. This experience provided a safe environment for many students to come forward and express themselves. The experience was transformative for all involved. We look forward to working with Rise Together again."
