Upcoming Uplift Events

Our Uplift Program held in association with the University of South Florida's Center for Positive Health in Tampa was a resounding success and a powerful healing experience for all those who participated, including the presenters (after our 30-city US book tour)!

Prof Ann DeBaldo has invited us to hold the Uplift Program on a quarterly basis starting in late September. Plus we have more exciting events, including Uplift Program workshops and professional training, planned in Melbourne, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Baltimore.

We'll keep you posted with more details. Check our event schedule for a brief overview.

Sydney readers don't miss the opportunity to attend our upcoming Public Talk: Creating Optimism and Overcoming Depression (July 16). And of course our 2 ½ day Uplift Intensive (July 23 - 25), which now teaches the comprehensive 7-Step Program featured in our book Creating Optimism.
