Our Story

An interview with Lisbeth Riis Cooper on how CooperRiis started.

“I’m going to start a place where people can heal.”

Frustrated with the options we had encountered trying to help a loved one deal with mental health challenges, we launched CooperRiis Healing Community in 2003 to offer holistic and effective residential mental health treatment.

Drawing from old and new influences, we developed a therapeutic program we wish we’d had for our family member. Utilizing our professional staff’s unique skills and continually learning from our residents and their families, the dream we had to help others took root and flourished and became CooperRiis Healing Community, a nonprofit recovery community.
