Rise Together

An online community for those loving someone struggling with substance use or mental health.

The community

A place to feel supported, understood, and a little less alone.

Loving someone through substance use or mental health challenges can leave you feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, and unsure of what to do next. Rise Together is an online community created for the people who are walking that journey alongside them.

This is a place to connect with others who understand, learn practical tools you can actually use, ask questions, share the hard days and celebrate the small wins. You’ll find education, encouragement, conversations and resources focused on communication, boundaries, responding instead of reacting, understanding behaviour, caring for yourself, and finding a path forward.

You don’t have to have everything figured out. You just need a place to start.

Rise Together is coming soon

About the host

Meet Joanne!

I’m Joanne Feist, a proud mom of two, happily married, and part of a very tight-knit crew.

After walking through the pain and uncertainty of addiction with my loved one, I was determined to find a different way… something that truly helped. Then I discovered the Invitation to Change and CRAFT approach, and it changed everything.

That experience lit a fire in me to complete certification courses and dedicate myself to helping other families navigate their own path through the heartache and complexity of addiction.
