We really appreciate your support
Rise & Thrive Co is a Not For Profit registered Charity. We are committed to facilitating self-healing and the empowerment of individuals affected by trauma through the delivery of our specialised trauma-informed recovery programs.
Our mission is to reconnect young people with themselves, their families, and their futures.
We aim to reduce youth disconnection, strengthen emotional regulation, and ensure every
young person — no matter where they live — has access to trauma-informed recovery and
support.
We work across schools, communities, and families to address behavioural challenges early,
helping young people build resilience, responsibility, and hope..
Rise & Thrive Co. is dedicated to empowering individuals affected by trauma to reclaim their strength and rebuild their lives through specialised trauma-informed recovery programs. Our mission is to deliver innovative, accessible, and evidence-based initiatives that nurture healing, resilience, and self-discovery. Above all, we believe support should never come at a cost — our programs are provided free of charge to ensure that every person has the opportunity to heal and thrive.
Our programs integrate therapeutic approaches, counselling, peer support, education, and practical coping strategies to address a wide range of trauma and mental health challenges, including anxiety, intergenerational trauma, and experiences of domestic and family violence. Each program is designed to empower individuals to process their experiences, strengthen emotional resilience, and develop healthy, sustainable coping mechanisms that support long-term wellbeing.
Rise & Thrive Co. is deeply committed to meeting the growing need for specialised trauma recovery services and programs within our community. Our initiatives have created meaningful, lasting change in the lives of those we support. Testimonials from participants consistently reflect stories of healing, empowerment, and renewed hope — evidence of the transformative impact our programs have in helping individuals rebuild their confidence and sense of self.
Growing up is all about trying new things and finding out who you are! Having supportive people like family, mentors, coaches and friends around you makes a big difference. They help you feel safe to take chances and be yourself.
Let’s keep making sure everyone has the support they need to be their best.
