WHY WE RISE is a part of a national movement to transform the mental health care system. Using the power of art, performance and creative expression, WHY WE RISE helps break through barriers by defying old assumptions about mental health, combatting stigma and recognizing the role that related social conditions play in the wellbeing of individuals and communities.
We demand that easy access to quality care be recognized as a civil right.
Everyone deserves to be well.
