WE RISE is the signature experience of the broader WHY WE RISE public education campaign, which is part of a national movement to transform the mental health system and expand access to resources, supporting the wellbeing of individuals and communities through community-led initiatives.
Originally incubated at the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health and now in its fifth year, WE RISE 2022 is evolving into an independent, grassroots, community-driven initiative that enjoys widespread support from public and private funding partners.
