We give women all the tools they need to thrive. Rising Roads offers comprehensive academic support and career guidance to all clients.

Rising Roads provides support for women who want to pursue their educational goals in early recovery.

Career Guidance

Many of the women who enroll in a treatment program have the same concern: What happens next? For those in need of employment, Rising Roads offers career guidance services.

Our comprehensive personality and interest testing help women choose the right “get well” job to move forward after returning home. Through these positions, clients take a small step back into the working world, either part-time or full-time. We have had women work at coffee shops, farms, restaurants, daycares, schools, boutiques, and doctors’ offices. Our team guides clients through the process of finding and obtaining gainful employment.

Rising Roads’ career guidance services include:

Personality and career interest testing (values, interests, and skills)
Resume building
Job searching
Advice on managing relationships with managers and coworkers
LinkedIn profile building
Time management skill development
