Exciting News!

UPLIFT partnered with the Peak Wellness Center to provide social skills development for elementary age children. This program is designed for children who have or exhibit symptoms of ADHD. The UPLIFT After School Program (ASP) activities will be a modification of the Wyoming Attention Camp Program; which is a research based model for the development of social skills and behavior modification for children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
