Coming Soon!

RISE is bringing more support closer to home. Over the coming months, we're launching new programs designed to meet caregivers earlier, reduce isolation, and strengthen families before challenges become crises. Explore what's coming and subscribe here if you'd like to be among the first to know when something launches near you.

Peer Support Groups (Coming Soon to Orange County)

A safe, welcoming space where parents, caregivers, and grandparents can connect with others who truly understand the journey. These monthly groups are designed to reduce stress, build confidence, and strengthen your family - because you deserve support too. Groups are offered in English and Spanish and meet in person at varying locations across Orange County.

Made possible with support from Orange County Government.

Early Intervention Peer Support (Launching July 2026 in Orange County)

Raising a child with developmental, behavioral, or neurodivergent needs can feel overwhelming, especially when you're figuring out systems that weren't designed to be easy to navigate. Starting July 2026, our Family Support Navigators - caregivers themselves who've walked this road - will offer one-on-one peer support to families of children ages 0–5. They'll help you connect with early intervention services, understand your options, and build your confidence as your child's most important advocate. Navigation support includes help with resources, referrals, and insurance.

Made possible with support from Orange County Government.

Community Education (Orange, Osceola, and Seminole Counties)

Knowledge is one of the most powerful tools a family can have. RISE is expanding access to community education through three offerings:

On-Demand Trainings - Available across Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties, covering topics in social services, Youth Mental Health First Aid, and a leadership series.
Monthly Caregiver Trainings - In-person sessions in Orange County focused on timely, relevant topics for families. Childcare included.
Parenting Workshops - Available in Orange and Seminole counties, designed to strengthen parenting skills and family resilience. Childcare included.

Made possible with support from Orange County Government and Big Nova Foundation.
