Rising Ground

Rising Ground is proud to share a remarkable milestone that speaks to the heart of our mission: community.

Our Senior Director, Stephanie Menyhay, was recently invited to attend a royal roundtable discussion on the therapeutic benefits of reading for survivors of intimate partner violence which was held during the royal visit to New York City. The event was presented by The Queen's Reading Room, the charitable initiative of Queen Camilla, and took place at the historic New York Public Library. Stephanie also had the distinguished honor of meeting Queen Camilla herself.

At Rising Ground, we believe that healing is not a solo journey, it is a community endeavor. Being invited into conversations at this level affirms that the work we do every day, alongside the individuals and families we serve, matters on a global stage.

Reading, storytelling, and shared human experience are powerful tools in trauma recovery. We are grateful to The Queen's Reading Room for elevating this important dialogue and for including Rising Ground as a voice in it.

To our staff, our clients, and our community: this recognition belongs to all of you. 💛
