RISE Model Training

We are excited to invite mental health professionals and master’s- and doctoral-level mental health trainees to participate in an upcoming RISE Model Training on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, from 12:00–2:00 PM EST.

The RISE Model—Reframe, Integrate, Strengthen, Establish—is a culturally adapted Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and self-affirmation framework designed to help clinicians address sociopolitical stress in counseling. It is a peer reviewed published model. The model integrates evidence-based CBT strategies with culturally responsive and identity-affirming practices, with particular relevance for supporting Black and Brown communities navigating the psychological impact of today’s social and political climate.

During this two-hour training, participants will learn practical strategies for incorporating the RISE Model into their clinical work and strengthening their ability to respond to sociopolitical stress in culturally responsive ways.

The training will be facilitated by Char Newton, PhD, LP, Psychologist, Scholar, and Author, and Simone Miller, B.A., Graduate Student.

In addition to attending the training, participants will have the opportunity to voluntarily participate in a research study examining the RISE Model by completing a brief pre- and post-training survey. Participation in the research study is optional and is not required to attend the training.
