WISE is a nation wide collaboration of organizations and individuals seeking to achieve dignity and support for all affected by mental illness through the advancement of best practices and support of storytelling-for-change in all stigma reduction efforts in our state. The WISE Coalition works together to assess current programming, share and expand what works, increase use of evaluation tools to monitor outcomes, and revise efforts based on the information gained.

For years, Elizabeth battled alcoholism, addiction, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder, often hidden beneath the surface. Her path to healing began in 2017 at Herrington Recovery Center, but it was in 2019, when she fully surrendered, that she found true freedom.

Out of that journey, Faith Factory was born…not just as a business, but as a calling and purpose. Elizabeth dreamed of a brand that could bring compassion, understanding, and connection to the recovery community. A brand that helped those in recovery feel seen, and helped their loved ones understand the journey.

Today, she runs the Faith Factory Gift Shop inside Rogers Behavioral Health, the very place she was once a patient. It’s proof that recovery is possible and that life can come full circle in the most meaningful ways.

Faith Factory is more than clothing. It’s gratitude. It’s resilience. It’s faith in action.
