RISE is CHC’s Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for teens ages 13-18 facing suicidal thoughts, recent attempts, or repetitive self-harm. Developed in partnership with Stanford Children’s Health, RISE provides unparalleled support for teens navigating their most challenging moments.
RISE is grounded in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), an evidence-based approach that equips teens with essential life skills. Our program centers on four key areas:
Through structured support and expert guidance, RISE empowers teens to navigate challenges and build a life worth living.
An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) like CHC’s RISE is a critical next step in the healing process after hospitalization. Mental health professionals agree that recovery doesn’t happen overnight—it requires structured, ongoing support to create lasting change.
