Rising Together Is Schoolwide Mental Health Screening That Identifies Risk and Drives Real Change
We believe no student should struggle alone. That’s why our comprehensive program is designed to help schools more effectively intervene — and build strong support systems — so all students can thrive.
Mental Health Is the #1 Factor in Student Success and Overall Wellbeing
Yet today’s data reveals a generation navigating unprecedented stress, isolation, and unmet needs.
1 in 3 youth report persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness.
1 in 6 youth have made a suicide plan in the past year.
1 in 4 youth report not having a trusted adult in their life.
