Rising Above Online Conferences & Retreat Experiences

Raising children with special needs brings unique family challenges. Rising Above was founded to provide encouragement and hope to those families who so often feel ignored or forgotten. We would love for you to join us for one of these online Retreat & Conference Experiences.

These Experiences are designed for you to do on your own, with small group, or with a local church. We would love to answer any questions you have about these online experiences. Each retreat or conference comes with a suggested schedule, streamable video content, and all downloadables you would need. Feel free to email Carrissa at cmackie@risingaboveministries.org.
