RI International

We've got big news to share: RI International is now Recovery Innovations! While our name may be changing, our commitment to the mission, vision and values are not. This rebrand reflects the return to our roots; proudly centering recovery and well-being for individuals experiencing a behavioral health emergency.

Check out our new website RecoveryInnovations.org to learn more!

From frontline responders to system designers, from advocates to technologists—thank you for being part of this work.

Every conversation, every idea, every moment of care matters.
Together, we’re building something better. 💙

Meet Ray.

Ray M. works at our Franklin County Crisis Care Center in Ohio, and this short video captures exactly why this work matters. 💛

Every day, Ray shows up with compassion, steadiness, and a deep commitment to people who are often having one of the hardest days of their lives. This is what crisis care looks like when it’s rooted in dignity, respect, and genuine human connection.

We’re grateful for Ray—and for every team member who leads with heart.

Care doesn’t start at the moment of crisis—it’s built long before.

At RI, we design systems rooted in dignity, compassion, and lived experience, so when people reach out, they’re met with care that truly feels like care.

A reminder for the weekend:
💙 Take a breath
💙 Check in on someone you care about
💙 Ask for support if you need it

Recovery includes rest, too.
