How SonRise Began
In 2018, my oldest son, Kyle, tried to take his own life. I didn't know how to support my child. I didn't know where to turn. I felt deep guilt, shame, and loneliness.
What started as a lifeline for me grew into a community of thousands - coming together each week to create space, learn from experts, and rebuild our connections with ourselves and our families.
