A Proven Seven-Step Program for Overcoming Depression
(McGraw-Hill, 2004) by Bob Murray and Alicia Fortinberry

As authors, psychotherapists and trainers we have helped thousands of people to become happier and more optimistic and to heal from depression and anxiety. Our unique and astoundingly effective 7-Step Program is the core of the Uplift Program and the inspiration for our book Creating Optimism: A Proven, Seven-Step Program for Overcoming Depression.

We are passionate about each person's ability to join with others in healing, supportive relationships and create lives full of joy and meaning.

We founded the Uplift Program to bring health and happiness not just to those who suffer the devastating pain of depression, but to everyone who has ever felt isolated, confused or overcome by the stress of modern life.

Part of our committment to helping people is to share our discoveries and insights. On our website, and in our books, audio-programs and workshops, we provide high quality information about depression and wellness, and empower people with self-help tools to aid their recovery.

We invite you to join us.
