Welcome to Resilience Rise
A safe, nurturing space for young people to pause, reconnect, and rise.
Born from years of working on the front lines of mental health crisis care, Resilience Rise Retreat was created to fill a vital gap—to go beyond crisis response and provide real tools for long-term resilience.
This 3-day, 2-night wellness experience is designed to help young people explore their inner strength, connect with others, and return to life with greater calm, confidence, and clarity.
Because young people don’t just need support during a crisis—they need to know they can rise above it.

About
My name is fabie ismael
As a mental health clinician, I witnessed countless teens struggling silently with anxiety, overwhelm, identity, and isolation. I saw families trying to support them, yet feeling uncertain, exhausted, and alone.
Young people today are navigating emotional challenges unlike any generation before them.
Out of that need, Resilience Rise was born.
It wasn’t just a career decision — it was a calling.
A God-given mission to restore hope, healing, and strength in young people and their families.
We believe every young people is intentionally created — uniquely gifted, purposeful, and capable of thriving. Yet so many struggle to see their own light in a world filled with noise, pressure, and comparison. Through faith-guided wisdom, compassionate support, and practical tools for emotional resilience, we help them rediscover who they are — and Whose they are.
Our “Why” is simple, but deep:
-
When we nurture emotional resilience in teens, we empower them to rise.
-
When we equip parents with understanding and confidence, families flourish.
-
When faith, love, and emotional intelligence come together, healing begins.
Resilience Rise exists to cultivate a generation that stands strong — resilient in spirit, grounded in truth, and connected to their purpose.
Together, we’re not just building stronger individuals.
We’re strengthening families, communities, and futures — carrying God’s light into the world.
Empowering Teens Together
Resilience Rise is dedicated to guiding adolescents towards emotional health and personal growth through supportive programs and engaging activities.
Our Mission
At Resilience Rise Retreat, our mission is to empower young people with the tools, support, and space they need to rise above emotional overwhelm.
Through immersive, nature-based retreats grounded in clinical insight and lived compassion, we help cultivate resilience, restore hope, and foster meaningful connection between youth and their families.
Our Vision
We envision a world where no young person stands alone in their struggle—where emotional wellness is nurtured before crisis strikes, and every teen has access to transformative spaces that spark healing, courage, and inner strength.
For Parents & Caregivers
You’re not alone—and neither is your child.
As a parent or caregiver, watching your child struggle with anxiety, depression, or emotional distress can be one of the most heartbreaking experiences of your life. You want to help—but sometimes, it feels like nothing is enough.
That’s why we created Resilience Rise Retreat: to give your child more than temporary relief.
We offer a structured, supportive, and evidence-informed space where they can begin to rediscover hope, purpose, and personal strength.
Led by a Mental Health Clinician with over 16 years of mental health expertise, this retreat is designed to help young people build tools they can carry with them for life—not just in crisis, but every day thereafter.
“This retreat is not about ‘fixing’ your child. It’s about helping them find themselves again.”
You’re doing your best—and now, we’re here to walk the next part of the journey with you.
For Teens: A Message Just for You
Feeling overwhelmed? You’re not broken. You’re becoming.
Maybe you’ve been feeling anxious all the time. Maybe you’re tired, numb, or just done with pretending you’re okay. Maybe it feels like no one truly gets what you’re going through.
We see you. And you’re not alone.
Resilience Rise Retreat is a space created just for you—a 3-day getaway where you can press pause on everything, take a breath, and find out who you really are under the stress, pressure, and pain.
You won’t be judged.
You won’t be lectured.
You will be supported.
This is not therapy. This is a journey back to yourself—with others who get it.
What You Can Expect:
Chill mindfulness and grounding techniques
Express yourself through art, writing, or movement
Time in nature to rest and recharge
Real conversations, not small talk
Campfire-style honesty, no pressure to “perform”
You’re not here to be fixed. You’re here to find your fire again.
