Spotlight on Amanda

Each month RISE recognizes an individual in one of our programs who has made exceptional progress towards meeting their goals. This month our spotlight is on Amanda who has been in RISE Programs for over ten years. She shares, “One of the things I am most proud about is that I have not been hospitalized since being in RISE programs. Previously, whenever my mental health symptoms became too much, I would have to go into the mental health unit to become stabilized. But with the supports that RISE staff gives me, I’m able to manage my mental health with my medications and by using my coping skills.”
