WE RISE is a 10-day pop-up immersive experience that brings together LA’s diverse community to explore our collective power to live lives of purpose and engagement. Through powerful programming, performances, immersive workshops, and a world-class art exhibition, we seek to embolden individuals and families to find help, reach out to help others and demand systemic change in order to address the critical need for early intervention, treatment and care for mental wellbeing.

A project of the Los Angeles Department of Mental Health in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, WE RISE provides a space for people to feel fully validated, contextualize their pain and practice the power of their imagination.WE RISE grows from the belief that our mental wellbeing is informed by our feelings of connection and belonging.
