While research demonstrates cancer's impact on emotional health, there is no standard of care for addressing these needs. Cancer patients are living longer, and our need for resources around emotional wellness is more significant than ever before.
RISE is a curriculum-based platform for promoting good mental health in and through cancer. By demonstrating the typical emotional response to cancer, RISE articulates an understanding of the emotional side effects of cancer.
This virtual platform provides individuals impacted by cancer the opportunity to walk through guided discussion topics, from the privacy of their homes, at a pace that fits their lifestyle. The virtual nature of the platform allows patients across economic, ethnic, geographic, or cancer types to engage equally.
We desire to provide a continuously expanding module library and to create a similar experience for the Spanish-speaking community. If you would like to partner with us in accomplishing this vision, please consider donating or contact us at rise@adventurefound.org.
