RiseUp: From Healing to Thriving

RiseUp: From Healing to Thriving is a trauma-informed conference presented by Helix Human Services at Springfield's MassMutual Center, built around themes of healing, resilience, growth, and empowerment. The full-day program features keynote speakers including clinical social worker Shannon Mumblo, athlete and advocate Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir, and Rachelle Hannoush, along with sessions that explore how personal healing journeys can shape healthier organizations and communities. One featured framework invites participants to step back from day-to-day pressures to gain perspective and approach challenges through a lens of healing rather than crisis. The event is geared toward helping professionals, community leaders, caregivers, and anyone interested in trauma-informed practices, but its emphasis on resilience and well-being makes it accessible to a broad audience. Registration is handled through the event page.
