The RISE Foundation is a registered charity founded by Frances in 2009, focussed on family members of those with addictive behaviour. At RISE (Recovery In a Safe Environment), we are dedicated to working towards helping family members to free themselves from the stress, anxiety and worry of having a loved one with addictive behaviour. We help family members understand the nature of addiction and the profound effect it has on relationships. The Rise Foundation Family Programme does not deal with the person in addiction.

There will be a 10 week programme to support family members who have a loved one with an

alcohol, drug, sex or gambling problem starting on the 14th October in The Carmelite Community Centre, Aungier St, Dublin 2.
