The Full Story
Born from the Front Lines. Built for Hope.
As a Clinical Nurse Consultant working in Child and Youth Mental Health Services, I have stood at the front lines of crisis care. Every day in the Emergency Department, I meet young people who are overwhelmed by anxiety, paralysed by depression, and weighed down by the silent pain of hopelessness. Many arrive after moments of desperation—believing they have no other way out.
I’ve sat with families in tears, feeling helpless and afraid. I’ve heard the unspoken questions behind their eyes: “How did we get here?” and “What happens now?”
After years of working in these high-stakes moments, one thing became painfully clear:
we are doing everything we can to manage the crisis—but we are not doing enough to prevent it.
💡 A New Vision for Mental Wellness
That realisation became the seed of Resilience Rise Retreat.
I saw a gap in our mental health system: young people are often discharged back into the world with little more than a follow-up appointment and a heavy heart.
What they truly need is a space to breathe, to heal, to connect—and to rise.
So, I created Resilience Rise Retreat—a 3-day, 2-night immersive wellness experience designed to help young people reconnect with themselves, build emotional strength, and discover tools to navigate life with courage, clarity, and resilience.
🌱 Why We Exist
This retreat was built on the belief that:
-
Resilience can be cultivated—not just taught in theory, but felt, lived, and embodied.
-
Young people deserve more than survival—they deserve tools for growth, connection, and purpose.
-
Healing happens in safe, supportive environments—surrounded by peers, mentors, and nature.
Through a carefully curated blend of holistic workshops, mindfulness practices, creative expression, and physical wellbeing, Resilience Rise Retreat empowers young people to rise above crisis and step into their strength.
✨ From Crisis to Clarity. From Breakdown to Breakthrough.
Resilience Rise Retreat isn’t just a wellness getaway—it's a transformative journey. It’s where young people learn they are not broken, but becoming. It’s where they discover they are not alone—and that within them lies everything they need to rise.
Welcome to Resilience Rise Retreat—
where hope begins again.
