Not everything can be fixed with better habits or a new routine. Sometimes you’re just genuinely under-resourced.

Save this for the next time someone tells you to just “do better.”

🎉166 FREE therapy sessions this year!

That’s 166 opportunities for healing, growth, & support for people rebuilding after incarceration.

Through our REBUILD program, Darkness RISING connects formerly incarcerated and justice-involved people of color with licensed, culturally competent therapists across the U.S. & covers the cost of 10 free therapy sessions.

Because reentry can’t just be, “Good luck out there.”
Real support looks like mental health care. It looks like housing. It looks like jobs. It looks like community.

Healing should ALWAYS be part of the journey home.

🏀Key Takeaways from the :

1️⃣ Setbacks aren’t the end of the story. 
53 years without a championship.
Now they’re CHAMPIONS!
Healing works the same way. The time between where you are & where you want to be is proof the story isn’t over yet.

2️⃣ You need a team.
NYC showed up & SHOWED out for the Knicks! No one wins alone. Healing, like basketball, needs support, accountability, & community.

3️⃣ Stay in the game.
The Knicks took some L’s. So will you. But the breakthrough comes after the setback. Rest when you need to, but don’t count yourself out.

NYC LET’S GOOOO!
