About Us

Having someone that you love in addiction can be devastating

The RISE Foundation is a registered charity founded by the singer Frances Black in 2008, focussed on the family of those in addiction (alcohol, drugs, gambling, food or sex addiction).

Our Mission

“To support families who have loved ones in addiction, to reduce addiction related harm and to combat the shame and stigma associated with addiction”.

At RISE (Recovery In a Safe Environment), we are dedicated to working towards helping families to free themselves from the heartache of a loved one in addiction, and to rediscover relationships in families lost to addiction.

Our Aims

  • Educate families about addiction
  • Train families in their own recovery
  • Change the family system by helping the family to care for itself
  • Help families emerge from their powerlessness with pride, passion and power
  • Raise awareness about the impact of addiction on families

We help families understand the nature of addiction, and teach self-help mechanisms to those suffering the devastation and heartache of having a loved one in addiction.
