Well-Being For You
Uplift Education places a high priority on the social and emotional health of our scholars. Uplift Education’s Counseling Services Program brings a licensed mental health professional to each school to promote the social-emotional well-being of our scholars.
We are happy to extend our social and emotional health focus beyond the campus to our families through free family therapy services.
The Family Therapy program is made possible through a generous grant from the Rees-Jones Foundation. The Rees-Jones Foundation serves the North Texas community.
