Responsive Individualized Support & Early Intervention (RISE)
The Responsive Individualized Support and Early Intervention (RISE) Program is a multidisciplinary partnership between Truman Medical Centers and UMKC that aims to provide early intervention and support for individuals and families affected by gun violence.
Victims of gun violence receive early crisis intervention and stepped up care as needed to enhance resiliency and recovery in the aftermath of a shooting. If you or someone you know has been a victim of gun violence in the Kansas City area and would like more information, call (816) 299-1638.
