April 2023 Staff Recognition

Please join us in congratulating the April Recognition Recipients!

Rise to the Extra Mile Recognition

The Rise to the Extra Mile Recognition is given to highly motivated individuals who go that extra mile in their job. Rise to the Extra Mile honorees get to park in a designated parking space at the RISE administration office.

Congratulations to Sarah Tobias, Youth Care Manager, as the April Rise to the Extra Mile recognition recipient.

Sarah recently celebrated her one year anniversary with RISE. Since since day, she has been going above and beyond to help the individuals she serves including their family members. Sarah is a key contributor to helping families through uncertain times.

Sarah has and continues to show outstanding dependability not only to the individuals she serves but to her team as well. Sarah often lends a helping hand to provide support to her team.

Congratulations Sarah for this well-deserved employee recognition.

Rise to the Occasion Recognition

The Rise to the Occasion Recognition is given to individuals who see a need within the agency and go above and beyond to fill that need.

Congratulations to the Adult Care Management Team as the April Rise to the Occasion Recognition recipients.

The Adult Care Management program have been understaffed for months, and the adult team has worked so hard to make sure that they are still meeting the needs of the clients we serve. Everyone has been over caseload capacity and handing the extra work like rock stars.

Though things have been busier and more stressful, the team has handled this with grace. Everyone is still willing to lend an extra hand when needed, with a smile and a positive attitude. Things are more stressful with me going out on leave, and onboarding new staff, but I know this team can handle anything thrown their way.

Staff on the RISE

Congratulations to the Daisy Flores, PSAP Treatment Apartments Counselor. Daisy has worked at RISE for a little over a year. In addition to working her regular shifts, Daisy has continuously helps out with covering shifts at all the other Community Residences and she has never hesitated to be there.

Daisy is a hardworking, passionate, and driven individual! She genuinely cares about the clients and pushes them to do their best at all times. Daisy is a ray of sunshine and she is a great person inside and out and it shines through not only in her work but in her character.
