Empowering families and transforming futures—one relationship at a time.

Our
Story

RIZO was born out of a calling—to empower families with compassion, expertise, and unwavering support.

Our journey began with a simple truth: families, especially those navigating behavioral, emotional, or academic challenges, deserve more than quick fixes. They deserve real solutions—and people who care deeply.

Founded by educators and professionals who’ve seen the brokenness in the system firsthand, RIZO was created as a safe place for transformation. A place where families could finally feel seen, heard, and supported. Where schools overwhelmed with staffing gaps could lean on experts who truly understand.

Every child, every parent, every classroom holds untapped potential. We’re here to unlock it—through evidence-based services, genuine connection, and a commitment to walk with you, not ahead of you.

 We believe change is possible. Growth is within reach. And no family should feel like they’re in it alone.

James 1:27 states that pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is to care for orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
