Our Mission
At RiseStrong, we exist to break down barriers, amplify unheard voices, and create lasting change in the areas that matter most—anti-racism, disability advocacy, and mental health awareness and raising awareness and support for domestic abuse survivors. Born from personal experiences, we are fiercely dedicated to ensuring that every individual, no matter their background or circumstances, feels seen, heard, and valued.
We believe that safeguarding is not just a policy or a procedure—it’s a way of ensuring that every person feels safe, respected, and valued. We advocate for change in areas where safeguarding isn’t traditionally considered, reminding businesses and organisations that the safety and well-being of people is everyone’s responsibility.
RiseStrong isn’t just about advocating for change; it’s about creating a movement.
A movement where voices that have long been silenced or ignored are given the platform they deserve. Our Founder is a survivor and therefore understands the importance of pressing forward and fighting for justice, for equity, and for humanity. Together, we’re making the world a place where everyone’s story matters.
We do everything with a Trauma Informed Approach, and help you to create a psychologically informed environment

She demonstrated external knowledge with added care therefore had a therapeutic approach that I was able to connect with. The was highlighted particularly with Signs of Safety session, where we were able to paint a picture and put into context the possibilities of what might be going on for each young person,(emotionally and behaviour responses.)
