Welcome to the
RISE Assessment
A practical assessment to identify children’s resilience strengths and areas of need.
(part of the RISE Programme: Assessment, Training and Strategies)
The RISE Assessment provides you with a rich data set for each child across each of the 8 areas of resilience. Together these show a child’s ‘resilience capacity’; the extent that they have the emotional strength to overcome challenges, and provides the foundations for children’s overall wellbeing.
