About us
Rise Above is a project developed by Unleash Yourself with Gladness (UYG) and
Mind Restoration Practice (MRP).
We had people coming to both our organisations for support with domestic abuse and mental health issues. We understood their concerns and identified their sufferings were heightened by a lack of trust in current systems and lack of continuous guidance from services.
Rise Above mission is to provide TRUST and continuous GUIDANCE through mentoring to ease pain and suffering.
Our Vision is to create communities where people who are skilled and Experienced COMMIT to sharing with those who are unskilled (less skilled) and inexperienced!
As Christians, we believe this is how God wants us to live in our communities!
Meet our project developers!

Our Story
Rise Above came from an unsuccessful partnership setup with another Christian organisation.
We had ideas about community empowerment training and mentoring for women affected by domestic abuse and wanted logistical support to turn our ideas into reality. Our new partner was keen, but differences in our operations resulted in the unsuccessful set-up of our intended project.
When this partner decided to pull away, we felt the spirit of "RISE ABOVE"! We prayed 🙏 and believed the central teaching of God is to Rise Above Situations to keep our focus on his work - This is how we came up with the project name "Rise Above."
Moving forward, we opened up to recruiting mentors based on their valuable skills and experience, not their Christian background.
We then decided to run our programme for free, hoping to get funding later to cover the project costs, including our experts' time.
Our experts include mental health specialist, business consultants and life coaches committed to the project, taking time from their busy schedules.
