Communities are a lot like the home team. They're strongest when everyone brings something to the table, and we're so grateful to have these amazing players on our team.

More ways to access mental health care at RISE!

We're excited to share some big news from our Therapeutic Services Team: RISE can now accept private insurance; Medicaid and Dean Health Plan. This is a new option for our Therapeutic Services program, and an important step in making care more accessible to the individuals and families in our community.

And there's more good news- our Therapeutic Services Team has expanded, we've added some truly wonderful people to the team, and we currently have availability for new participants.

We believe seeking support shouldn't feel like hitting a wall at every turn. Finding the right care can be hard enough without navigating the barriers that make it even harder. At RISE, we want people to feel welcomed, supported, and cared for from that very first step.

We're here to support children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families with thoughtful mental health care- and we're excited to be able to open that door a little wider.

What a night! Last night at RISE we brought participants, families, and staff together for a special Free Yard Sale & Family Dinner- and it was so much fun!

We shared a delicious meal from Uno Mas and Kona Ice, connected with one another, shared helpful resources, and filled a whole lot of bags at our free sale. Families were able to choose from clothing, shoes, books, toys, paper products, toiletries, grocery items, household essentials, and so much more.

A huge thank-you to Carter's Madison West for their incredible donation of clothing ahead of the event! Your support helped make the evening even more meaningful for the families we serve.

RISE is proud to support children and families through our three early childhood programs- Welcome Baby & Beyond, Early Childhood Initiative, and ParentChild+- as well as our Respite Center and Mental Health Programs. Behind all of this work is an amazing team of staff who care deeply about the families we serve and go the extra mile to create opportunities for connection, and community.

Around 80 people joined us, leaving with full bellies, full bags, and- hopefully- full hearts, too. Most of all, we loved the chance to slow down, share a meal, laugh together and spend time with so many of our RISE participant families.

Today is Innergize Day, observed each year on the day after the Fall Equinox.

As the season shifts, it's a chance to pause and make a little space for yourself. Innergizing can be as simple as stepping away from your to-do list, spending time on something you enjoy, getting outside, connecting with someone you trust, or simply slowing down for a moment.

At RISE Wisconsin, we know that taking care of your mental health can look different for everyone. Using a wraparound approach to care, we work alongside individuals and families, meeting people where they are and connecting them with support that fits their needs, strengths, and circumstances.

Our goal is simple: helping communities and families thrive.

And while taking time to look inward can be important, you don't have to do the inner work alone. Support matters, too.

Our Breakfast for Nourishment fundraiser benefiting the RISE Respite Center was a tremendous success, and we're still feeling the energy from such a meaningful gathering.
