The goal of Project UPLIFT is to empower people with Epilepsy to improve their own mental health through mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral skills.
Increases knowledge and skills, reduces depression, and improves quality of life.
Methods taught include challenging thoughts, behavioral activation, coping, problem-solving, and mindfulness.
Validated mental health measures are used to screen for eligibility for the program, and other measures are used throughout the program to monitor change in mental health.
Project UPLIFT helped me and gave me hope. During the time I was having neurosurgery and had been hospitalized. It wasn’t my greatest time but UPLIFT helped me relate and keep hope.
I feel Project UPLIFT gave me new tools to deal with my anxiety.
I found that my episodes of PNES have gone down significantly since starting the program.
An amazing experience! Very supportive and helpful! Thank you!
