Kelli Richardson Lawson’s The SonRise Project seeks to provide a safe space for everyday families navigating the struggles of addiction and mental illness. Across the country, our children are especially prone to facing these obstacles. That's why Kelli Richardson Lawson wants to give your family the tools to rise above. On the SonRise Project podcast, presented by the OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network) Podcast Network, both parent and child have a safe space to gather, share, and learn from experts and each other about how to navigate these challenges in a way that promotes growth and healing. Listeners are encouraged to bring their sons, daughters, and children to their side as our experts cover a variety of topics intending to guide you through this journey towards mental wellness together as a family.

Says Kelli Richardson Lawson:

"Our themes and topics focus on all areas of mental health, ranging from anxiety, depression, bipolar, defiance behavior disorder to drug/alcohol addiction… and how to manage life in an often-unfamiliar world. We want to ensure that parents feel like they can be open, vulnerable, and transparent as we support each other on our individual and collective journey to acceptance and healing."
