RISE Program Graduation 2025
The Behavioral Health FRE Staff shared their support in making the RISE Program Graduation ceremony an unforgettable and special occasion for the Women of RISE.
The ceremony encompassed emotional and profound the speeches from Debra O'Brien (President and CEO of CRJ), Judy Evnin (funder of the RISE Program since 2020), Fred Hodges (Director of Community Affairs), Sara Emir (2024 RISE Alumni), Katlyn Raymond (2025 RISE Graduate), Carmen Ortiz (RISE Program Manager), Gloriemar Rivera (RISE Case Manager), Ginger Wilk (Senior Director of Reentry Services), Holly Fitting (Vice President of Behavioral Health and Fund Development), and Joe Ganim (Mayor of Bridgeport).
It was impactful and inspiring experiencing the graduates’ joy as they celebrated this significant milestone. The guest speakers, class address, and diploma hand-off not only honored their achievements, but created an environment filled with encouragement, reminding everyone present of the power of community and support.
