RISE for Health and Human Services
We Bring RISE to Where It's Needed Most
For health and human services professionals, stress is in the job description. And it manifests in a multitude of ways—from burnout and decreased job satisfaction to higher rates of patient dissatisfaction. Kripalu’s evidence-based resilience program, RISE™, is anchored in the science of mindfulness, yoga, and positive psychology.
Here's what we know:
- Physician burnout rates average 44% in America and top 50% in several specialties
- Conservative estimates suggest that clinician burnout costs the field $4.6 billion annually due to turnover and lost hours
- 61% of nurses feel unable to give patients the care they deserve
- At least 80% of social workers believe stress levels are affecting their ability to do their job
- Chronic stress has been linked to the six leading causes of death in America: heart disease, cancer, respiratory disease, accidents, alcoholism, and suicide.*
That's where RISE comes in.

RISE is Evidence-Based
"There are a lot of things that happen to the body when you're in crisis that you can't do anything about, but you can control your breath, and that makes a huge difference."—Bridget Hughes, Hetrick-Martin Institute Senior Director, Youth Services
