About Us

RiseTwice is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting young people in need. Although our technology is built with this population in mind, it can be used by anyone who finds it useful.

MD Founded

Inspired by urgent need: An MD's direct exposure to mental health emergencies and experience volunteering with at-risk youth led to the creation of RiseTwice.
