TESTIMONIALS
"When I came out of prison I thought that was it for me, how can I do anything with my record. But RISE.365 helped me to get back into education and mend my relationship with my family. Thank you so much"
Young person, aged 19, Counselling
"What I thought about the session was that it really helped me think about what I’ve done and what I need to start doing. Made me realised that I’ve done a lot and made me feel better mentally. Gave me a way to navigate through my journey of life"
Young person, aged 20, Counselling
"I don't really like speaking to people about stuff I have going on, but my mentor at RISE.365 makes me feel comfortable to be me. I have been struggling mentally, not easy to talk about that. I don't feel judged, just accepted for who I am and where I’m at in my life. Having these sessions has helped me so much."
