Let’s Rise Together!
At The Phoenix Empowered, we believe that meaningful change happens in community. Whether you’re seeking a consultation, interested in hosting a workshop, exploring ways to support our mission, or hoping to collaborate, we’re grateful you’re here.
As someone who utilizes a wheelchair, José asks that interested partners consult with us regarding appropriate accommodations. When travel is required, we ask that hosts provide lodging and transportation that meet ADA accessibility guidelines. Speaker fees are adjusted based on event format, the number of engagements, and the duration of the commitment.
We welcome writers, producers, journalists, educators, organizers, donors, and community members who want to join us in building identity-informed mental health spaces. Let’s connect to learn more about your goals and explore how we can collaborate to support your community’s needs.

Testimonials
In The Media
We are so grateful for anyone who has listened to the podcast so far! We wanted to take some time to candidly share about our team, our work, and our memories. TPE team member, Cam, puts José in the hot seat to share about our mental health non-profit.
Creativity and mental illnesses are thought to be linked biologically, and people with mental illnesses often use art as a creative outlet.
Johnson & Johnson leaders and passionate advocates from PeaceLove’s CREATORS program discuss the important role of art and storytelling to help destigmatize mental illness in communities.
When interacting with people, we can easily identify our differences. But, what happens when we recognize that we all have differences? Communities where individuals can grieve and heal collectively, emerge and are united by a shared identity that influences the ways in which we experience the sociopolitical world. So, how do we advance mental health practices to meet the needs of a diverse world and honor differences?
Speaker, writer and advocate José Rosario is a mental health professional with hopes to facilitate change and make an impact across communities. With his message of empowerment and acceptance, he hopes to reach individuals during some of the most tumultuous points of their lives and encourage healing. His initiative, The Phoenix Empowered, strives to assert that it is permissible to rise up and find your voice.
With every interpersonal interaction, we have a choice to use words that inspire hope or instill hopelessness. Our words reflect a sense of belonging, of capacity, and of support. In his very first talk, Jose explores the impact of words from others on his own mental health and his work; choosing to rise because of those who empower him.
