I have an extreme appreciation for the Rise program. I see it as an incredible resource for students to be able to access during times of need and for those who are truly at risk with safety concerns. This also allows access to so many students who are unable to have their mental health needs met outside of the school setting, for various reasons. The Rise therapist we work with has become an invaluable member of our team and is able to go above and beyond with her level of investment, knowledge, connection, warmth, and communication. I can't thank her or this program enough!
