WANTED
Wyoming
Families need your assistance to continue
services for children with challenging
behaviors. Your help COULD prevent
these children from appearing on “real”
wanted posters.
Children
with emotional disturbances are not
just “bad” kids with poor parenting…..they
are from all walks of life, regardless
of race, social standing or age. In
fact, children as young as 2 years
old can exhibit anti-social behaviors
that are “at risk” and may result
in juvenile delinquency and dependency
on Welfare and other agency systems
later on in life. Children with emotional,
behavioral and learning disabilities
are among the most underserved group
of children within our state.
UPLIFT continues advocacy efforts
to enhance the child-serving system
within Wyoming to ensure adequate
mental health services that are child-centered,
family-focused and community-based.
UPLIFT is working to implement the
Wyoming Early Screening and Intervention
Project across the state to identify
these children in their pre-school
years in order to get appropriate
services on board in the most timely
fashion for the most positive outcomes.
UPLIFT begins their fourth year of
providing the Wyoming Attention Camp
Program to help kids with Attention
Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and
their families learn appropriate skills
for excelling within their homes,
schools and communities. This state–of-the-art
summer day camp treatment program
is conducted in Cheyenne and Casper
each summer.
UPLIFT sponsors statewide educational
conferences on a variety of issues
for families and professionals.
UPLIFT provides one-on-one support
for families of children with emotional,
behavioral and learning disabilities.
We focus on the strengths of the families
we work with. This support consists
of advocacy with schools, information
and referral, support groups and a
listening ear.
UPLIFT staff members are the parents
or guardians of children with mental
health needs.
