Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions parents and families ask most often.

About ARISE
What is ARISE and how is it different from other mental health services?+
ARISE is a second opinion think tank for child and adolescent mental health. Unlike standard clinics that provide treatment directly, we take time to deeply assess a child, understand the challenges they face, and provide a comprehensive report. This report is shared with your current professionals, allowing ongoing treatment to continue while giving them a clear roadmap to optimise care. Our goal is to support existing treatment, not replace it, with an evidence based, structured perspective.
Why do we need a second opinion for my child?+
Sometimes parents feel uncertain about the progress or approach of ongoing treatment. A second opinion helps clarify the situation, identify challenges, and offer a structured plan. This ensures your child is receiving care aligned with the latest developmental, psychological, and psychiatric understanding, giving parents confidence in the next steps.
What kind of conditions does ARISE work with?+
We cover a wide range of neurodevelopmental, psychological, and behavioral conditions, including ADHD, learning difficulties, anxiety, mood disorders, autism spectrum disorders, and more. Our approach is holistic, taking into account both clinical observations and developmental context.
How do we know if ARISE is right for us?+
If you are uncertain about your child's current treatment, want clarity on developmental or mental health concerns, or wish for an expert roadmap for your child's care, ARISE is ideal. Parents often choose a second opinion to feel confident, informed, and supported in their child's journey.
The process
How long does the ARISE assessment take?+
Our comprehensive assessment usually takes 5 to 6 hours, and sometimes longer depending on the child's needs. We dedicate this time to carefully observe, interact, and review all relevant information so that the recommendations are accurate, detailed, and actionable.
Will my child have to start treatment again with ARISE?+
No. ARISE is designed to support your child's current care team, not replace them. We provide detailed reports, recommendations, and guidance which you can share with the professionals already working with your child. This ensures continuity in care while enhancing the treatment plan with expert insights.
Will the assessment be stressful for my child?+
We design our assessments to be child friendly and supportive, using natural interactions, play, and conversation. The aim is to observe and understand, not to test or stress your child. Every step is done with careful attention to your child's comfort and emotional safety.
Can ARISE help if my child has multiple conditions?+
Yes. Our approach is specifically designed for complex, multi-faceted cases, looking at overlapping developmental, psychological, and medical factors to provide a clear, integrated roadmap for ongoing care.
Practicalities
How soon will we receive the report?+
Once the assessment is complete, we prepare a comprehensive, easy-to-understand report with observations, insights, and recommendations. The report is usually ready within a few days and can be immediately shared with your child's treatment team.
Do you offer ongoing support after the assessment?+
Yes. While we primarily provide assessment and reporting, we can also answer follow-up questions, clarify recommendations, and guide parents on next steps in collaboration with their existing professionals.
How do we start the process?+
Getting started is simple: contact us via the website form or helpline, share relevant background information, and schedule an assessment. Our team will guide you through preparation, expectations, and logistics to ensure a smooth experience.
Is the ARISE assessment confidential?+
Absolutely. All interactions, observations, and reports are confidential. The information is shared only with your child's treatment professionals and parents or guardians, maintaining strict privacy standards.
