Program Overview
Our mission at Phoenix Rising Teen Development is to provide healing and training with teens for a productive life through the use of trauma informed care and a robust work ethic development training.
We provide job hunting training and job placement services geared towards molding teenagers into successful job hunters for life.
We work exclusively with with teens and young adults that have had some hard experiences growing up.
What does having some hard experiences growing up have to do with employability?
​
Our research and experience shows that unaddressed traumatic experiences may lead to deep feelings of mistrust (especially of bosses or authority figures), difficulty regulating and maintaining self-control in high stress situations, and can lead to many other problems that may impact work performance. People with truama might feel deeply hopeless or might feel like they have little or no value. They may struggle more than others to transition from one activity to another, may have trouble adapting, and may struggle to be reliable due to how trauma is impacting them in their personal life.
Phoenix Rising Teen Development uses scientific, therapuetically designed, research-based, teaching and activities, that will help teens cope with challenging environments.
