About Rise
Unlock Your Potential. Build Your Resilience. Improve Your Life.
You serve, protect, and lead — but that strength doesn’t come without sacrifice. High-stress environments, long hours, and constant demands take their toll on your body and mind.
Rise is here to take guardians to another level by improving your focus, energy, and well-being.
Through wellness workshops, retreats, and resources, we provide the tools for military, veterans & first responders to recharge, rebuild, and rise.
Because Sleep, Nutrition, Exercise, and Mindfulness aren’t just buzzwords — they’re the proven foundation of a thriving lifestyle. And everything we do in Rise was designed specifically for guardians like you.
Prioritizing your health & well-being doesn’t make you weak — it makes you unstoppable. Through Rise, we help you build productive habits and routines so you can face every day & every challenge with confidence. And when you feel better, you live better.
Rise is a program of non-profit Guardian Revival, designed to improve the mental health & well-being of military, veterans, and first responders — our guardians, at no cost to them.
About Homefront
Support & resources for military & first responder families
Homefront focuses on the family and provides experiences, education, and support for spouses, partners, and children of veterans, active duty military, and first responders.
YOU ARE NEVER ALONE
We are here to foster resilience, support health & wellness, and promote community to ensure that no family member feels alone in their journey.
Empathize | We understand the unique experience of the family environment around a guardian
Educate | Support & training about health & wellness — for yourself, your guardian, and your family
Engage | Fun experiences for quality time & building connection as couples, families, and a community
Each event is designed for a designated group: often the whole family, but we also know how valuable it is to make time for couples to connect and for individuals (partners, spouses, adult children) to nurture their own needs.
And for everything we organize, we cover the logistics & the costs. We hope you’ll join us soon!
