Your contribution equips teens with the resilience to choose constructive self-regulation over destructive self-medication. Together, we can change the trajectory of youth mental health in the Upstate.
We believe in total financial transparency. When you give to RIZE Prevention, you aren’t just funding an organization; you are directly funding intervention. Here is exactly how your contribution impacts students and families in South Carolina:
$1,000: Funds iRIZE program supplies for one entire school for a full academic year.
$500: Provides financial aid for 10 students to receive essential mental and behavioral health therapy.
$100: Sponsors 2 students with immediate mental health support services.
$25: Provides one-on-one coaching materials for a struggling teen.
At RIZE, we don’t just tell teens to “say no”—we teach them how to navigate life’s challenges without substances.
Substance abuse is often a symptom of deeper struggles. Our evidence-based iRIZE program intervenes early—focusing on middle school students—to build the emotional intelligence, coping skills, and resilience necessary to resist addiction before it starts.
