UPLIFT takes our name from the Lessons from the Geese story: "As each goose flaps its wings, it creates an 'UPLIFT' for the bird following. By flying in a "V" formation, the whole flock adds 71% more flying range than if each bird flew alone." The UPLIFT name in all caps is not an acronym, but signifies the lift we hope to provide families while serving our mission of, “Comprehensive support and advocacy for families of children with complex behavioral health challenges and other special health care needs.”
We ASPIRE to complete our vision of HOPE, HEALTH, and WELL-BEING through Advocacy, Support, Prevention, Information, Referral and Education.
