Uplift News and Events

Last month has seen a flurry of activity at Uplift headquarters, so much so that we missed our July newsletter issue! Apologies to all!

We are delivering a growing number of programs to multinational corporations, including our Needs-Based Dialogue® Program and Quality Performance Dialogue Program.

Plus putting the last touches on our next book "Raising an Optimistic Child" for McGraw-Hill (Feb 2006), and planning our US Spring 2006 workshops for the public and health professionals. We'll let you know all the details as soon as they're confirmed, but it's promising to be an exciting Spring Program offering a strong focus on relationship and communication skills and plenty of techniques for parents and family therapists.

Sydney-siders, don’t forget you can join the free monthly Uplift Support Group for help using the depression-defeating techniques in Creating Optimism.

Check our event schedule.
