Uplift is...

The first mindfulness-driven, technology-fueled mental health awareness campaign.

We let you lift the world with your mind.

RAISE AWARENESS

ABOUT LIFE SAVING MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES

Suicide is the #2 cause of death for college students and 30 percent of students report feeling "so depressed that it was difficult to function" during their four years.

CONQUER STIGMA

AND LEARN STRESS REDUCTION

On campuses, stigma is the primary barrier for students utilizing the free or low-cost mental health services that most colleges offer.

ENGAGE & INSPIRE

WITH CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY

Rather than preach to deaf ears, Project Uplift meets students where they are, using fun and wonder to facilitate organic student engagement.
You have the power to impact your own well-being.

We exist to show you just how much.

When you lift yourself up inside, you lift the world.

STRESS REDUCTION GAMIFIED

When you relax, you lift a 36-inch diameter globe up to 15-feet in the air.

Brainwave sensing technology

Using the latest consumer technology, Uplift reads your brainwaves to measure how relaxed you are.

Mindfulness-based stress reduction

Uplift draws from clinical research, providing effective stress-reduction techniques inspired by tried and true contemplative traditions.
