MY PROMISE.
In 2019, we were going around the UPLIFT circle and sharing a self-love promise for the week ahead. One of our teens made a promise to not harm herself. We provided resources and love, as we do, and she continued on to become a certified UPLIFT Teen Teacher. She's a hero, and we love her endlessly.
The future of our mission was born that day. We made a commitment to share our wellness practices with teens everywhere. Each month, you will find a new tool set, along with a growing library of everything we’ve got. Thank you for being part of this awesome community — we’re so glad you’re here!
