What we’re about
Welcome to our safe and affirming space for LGBTQ+ individuals impacted by religious trauma and discrimination.
The Rise Above Community is here for those who have experienced adverse religious or spiritual experiences (ARSE), religious trauma, spiritual abuse, and discrimination.
Our mission is to create a space where you can connect with others, heal from past wounds, and exist authentically without judgment. We believe you are the expert of your own path.
This group is a place to find strength, belonging, and community. We offer peer-led discussions and support in a non-denominational environment open to all faiths, beliefs, and spiritual backgrounds. You're not alone in your journey, and we're here to help you find a new sense of purpose.
If you're looking for a community that understands what you've been through and empowers you to be your true self, you've found it.
