Mission
To build a community of healing by providing an opportunity for those in need and who are ready to Rise Up in freedom by walking alongside them as they address what happened so they can move forward in healing and healthier living.

To be good stewards, utilizing resources that remove financial barriers and provide a welcoming environment to those in need by informing and strengthening our community through seminars, workshops and individual coaching that promote health and wellness mind, body, and soul.
Stronger Together:
A Collaborative Approach
“True healing rarely happens in isolation. Rise Up coaches will often work alongside trusted counselors when deemed beneficial to make sure you have the right team in your corner.”
Coaching Moves Forward
Rise Up, Inc. focuses on goals, action, and building the life you want, not diagnosing what’s wrong.
Partners Not Clinicians
Rise Up, Inc. walks alongside you as an ally who’s been on their own healing journey.
No Diagnosis is Required for Help
You don’t need a referral or diagnosis. You just need to be ready to take the first step.
Faith-Informed By Choice
Rise Up’s approach can include a spiritual foundation if that’s part of your path. It’s never forced.

Rise-Up Integrates the Genesis Process
Rise Up integrates the Genesis Process — a step-by-step, trauma-informed, and biblical approach to healing from trauma and the destructive coping patterns that so often follow. We believe each person can move from victim to victor — from survivor to more than a conqueror.
“Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light.”
-Micah 7:8
