Testimonials
“Hi, my name is Shelly Jordan. I am the CEO of the non-profit organization, Rising Up Together. Some time ago, I spent considerable effort as a mother trying to help my teenage daughter overcome the turmoil of anxiety. Like many parents, I did everything I could to learn about the issue and help her combat it. I then spent three years devising a program that would empower youth from all walks of life to connect, find purpose, and build resilience for life!”
