The SonRise Project and podcast (on the Oprah network) was started by Kelli Richardson Lawson after her teenage son attempted to take his own life. She knew Black parents needed a safe space to share their struggles, find support, and help their children who struggle with mental health and addictions. Kelli brings needed attention to this issue for Black families, which historically have been hesitant to publicly address mental health and other issues going on in their homes.
Lean in as she discusses the SonRise Project, supporting families dealing with mental illness and addiction across the country.
