WHY ARE WE CALLED

"UPSTREAM"?

We are inspired by the Legend of the Koi Fish. The story promotes perseverance as seen in their unwavering struggle to swim UPSTREAM. We compare the koi fish to people that are affected by mental illness and their lifelong struggle in their lives. We are committed to helping people affected by mental illness overcome their obstacles and reach their “Dragon Gate”. Like the koi, we are determined to help people reach their recovery goals and other aspirations in life.

UPSTREAM is with you in this JOURNEY

The ROAD to RECOVERY is a JOURNEY. It is a PROCESS It takes TIME. It takes PATIENCE. It takes EVERYTHING that you’ve got.
