Rise
The Rivers Program (Rivers) is a community-based initiative that supports people with mental health or substance use issues.
We recognise the unique challenges many people face when accessing mental health support, and tailor our activities to different communities across Perth. Within the Rivers program of activities, you will find safe, culturally sensitive and inclusive environments, allowing you to participate confidently in a range of group activities.
Rivers is a partnership between Rise and Multicultural Services Centre of WA (MSCWA) .

Rivers offers a variety of activities. While some of these activities may require booking in advance, many are drop-ins – allowing you to come when you can.
