✨E - Employment Readiness✨

What happens after recovery?

For many, this is where the fear sets in. How do you rebuild a life? Find stability? Step into something meaningful.

At Rising Above, we don’t leave that question unanswered.
Through our Employment Readiness program, participants spend 12 -40 hours each week preparing for life beyond recovery—because lasting change requires more than healing, it requires opportunity.
We walk alongside them as they gain real-world experience through partnerships with local employers and training agencies

This is about more than a résumé. It’s about rediscovering dignity, responsibility, and servant leadership. It is also an opportunity to test themselves and their current capacities, while living in a safe, sober space with an active support system for their recovery.

When you support Rising Above, you help create opportunities for someone to rebuild their life with purpose. You help turn recovery into a future filled with hope, direction, and meaningful work.

🏠Moving Monday🎉

We’re getting close… our new building is about a month away!

Our team is already preparing for the transition—getting ready for orientation, training, setting up rooms, and creating a space that will soon become home for the men who will begin their journey of recovery and transformation. 🌱

It’s hard to believe that just one year ago we broke ground, and now we’re almost ready to move in. What an incredible milestone!

As we step into this next chapter, we would love your support. This beautiful facility will allow us to serve more individuals and equip them with the tools they need to overcome cycles of defeat and build a new future.

If you feel led to partner with us financially, we would be so grateful. Together, we can make a lasting impact. 💙

🎓 Breaking Cycles of Defeat 🎉

On Wednesday, we had the privilege of celebrating Mark O. (Polo) graduation from our 6-month program. 💙

It hasn’t been easy, but with hard work, perseverance, and a commitment to change, Mark has come out stronger on the other side.

He has already stepped into a new job and is moving forward with purpose, ready to continue growing and building a healthy, stable future.

We are incredibly proud of all that Mark has accomplished and can’t wait to see him thrive in this next chapter of his journey. 🎉

✨Step Into the Story✨

We all know someone who has been caught in a cycle of addiction—or maybe we’ve walked that road ourselves. The desire for change is real, but the path forward can feel overwhelming, uncertain, and out of reach.

At Rising Above, we meet people right in that moment.

Every year, hundreds reach out, ready for a different story. Through our 6-month residential program, we walk alongside each participant step by step, so they can begin to rebuild what once felt lost.

And we are seeing real transformation. 🌱

Today, 37.5% of those who enter our program graduate—choosing a new path, breaking cycles of defeat, and stepping into lives marked by hope, stability, and purpose. Each graduate represents a story redeemed, a family impacted, and a future rewritten.

But there are still so many waiting.

The journey of recovery is not meant to be walked alone. That’s where you come in.

When you give to Hope Beyond Brokenness, you step into the story. You become part of the guide—helping provide the space, support, and care needed for someone to keep going when it gets hard. Your generosity makes it possible for more individuals to not just start the journey, but to finish it.

Together, we can walk this story of recovery—one life, one step, one transformation at a time.

💙 Give today. Be part of the story. Help someone rise above.

Our Story

Rising Above started as a small men’s recovery center in 2007 in downtown Grande Prairie. Our focus at the time was on those who were facing chronic homelessness and addictions. Since the beginning, we have based our 6-Month Residential Treatment Program on our H.E.L.P.S model (Housing, Employment Readiness, Life-Skills, Personal Development, and Spiritual Formation). By using this model, countless people have embraced recovery and learned vital skills to help them integrate back into society and go on to lead happy and healthy lives.
