ABOUT US
Resilience Rally is a nonprofit dedicated to improving access to mental health care for students and young adults. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to receive quality mental health support, regardless of financial, social, or systemic barriers. Through movement, community, education, and care navigation, we help make mental health care more accessible and empower young people to seek the support they need.
We bring communities together through Resilience Runs and other movement based initiatives that foster connection, reduce stigma, and create space for meaningful conversations about mental health. While movement is not a replacement for professional care, we believe it is a powerful way to build community, encourage help seeking, and remind people they are not alone.
Our work extends beyond awareness. We are committed to removing the barriers that prevent young people from accessing mental health care through education, trusted resources, therapy scholarships, and partnerships that expand access to affordable care. Together, we are building a future where every student and young adult can find connection, navigate the mental health system with confidence, and receive the care they deserve.

OUR STORY

We started the non-profit out of the 2019 Resilience Run to raise awareness and funds for suicide prevention. Most of all, we wanted to honor our late teammate, Natalie Puente. Nat embodied resilience while she fought long and hard but eventually lost her life to suicide. Nat would show up to practice saying “I just have to rally” and absolutely smash it for her teammates. We rally for her and for everyone who has ever been impacted by mental illness. This is about changing the narrative from mental illness being a weakness, to it being an opportunity to show great resilience and strength.
