OUR VALUES

We guide our organization on the following five valued fundamentals:

A

To advocate.

We believe quality mental health care should be accessible and attainable for any individual in need of support.

R

To research.

We believe evidence-based treatments put individuals on a path to recovery.

I

To Innovate.

We strive to be an organization of excellence and sought-after partner in delivering state-of-the-art mental health treatments.

S

To Support.

We provide quality mental health services and support through direct outreach, referral services, and nationwide partnerships.

E

To Educate.

We educate communities to embrace the importance of mental health and understand it is a critical component to overall wellness.

The work that we are accomplishing through ARISE Alliance is both meaningful and impactful. Improving mental wellness for humanity is our purpose and shared responsibility. One in five Americans experience a mental health condition each year. Multiply that number by family members and those going undiagnosed, and you realize the urgency of ARISE Alliance’s mission.

Over the past eight years, our goal as an organization has been to expand reach and awareness in the mental health field, educate both the clinician and client populations on treatment efficacy, and increase services to a widespread number of individuals suffering from mental health symptoms, going untreated, or receiving ineffective methods of treatment.

As Chairman, I am gratified to witness and experience such tremendous success in achieving that mission through the effective leadership of our team guided by our Executive Director, Kelly Bustin.
