ARISE®NETWORK
“Recognized by industry leaders as the original Invitational Intervention protocol, ARISE® Intervention is an Evidence-Based, Best-Practice Continuum of Care with Intervention as needed. ARISE® harnesses the power of the family to achieve its mission for individual and family long-term recovery through Family Motivation to Change®.”
I Find Serenity Using Compassion
After Jenny's brother was murdered due to a lifestyle of substance abuse, she realized she needed to find something meaningful in her life. She left a career in journalism to become a Drug and Alcohol counselor and Arise interventionist.
​
She says she has found "My Calling." She channeled her grief to study the compassionate ARISE method of non-confrontational intervention.
She believes families are the key to long-term recovery, her work focuses on enhancing family connections in order to get loved ones into treatment. She has provided family intervention for over 15 years and has worked in different treatment programs in Sonoma and Napa counties. In addition, she is an independent family case manager and interventionist which allows for a wide-spectrum of facility referrals.
When not doing interventions, meeting with families, teaching about addiction or supporting others, Jenny spends time hiking and doing photography.
Intervention Method and Training
As a Certified ARISE Interventionist CAI-II, my intervention style and training reflects the ability to communicate in a style that motivates the addicted
individual to get excited about their recovery. I help energize the support team and collaborate with them to lovingly guide the addicted individual to choose treatment and long-term recovery.
My experience as a Certified Substance Abuse Counselor gives me insight into how to assess an individual for different types of treatment planning and case management.
The ARISE Intervention method is invitational. The individual needing substance abuse treatment is invited to the intervention or, what I call, the first family meeting. By using clear communication during the intervention, families will be able to enhance motivation for the addicted individual.
My ability to stay calm during crisis situations will impede any emotional escalation, My level of understanding with the local community resources will help in the referral process.
Sincerley,
Jenny Harris
