Uplifting Australia

Uplifting Australia a charity that strengthens the emotional wellbeing and resilience of children and families. We do this through our Lift Off! programs which include: Ready, Steady, Go, Family Connect, Teacher Training and Family Hangout. We engage children six to twelve years old and their parents together to inspire families and equip them with accessible skills, knowledge and resources so they can deliver life-changing foundations to their children. "Having close, loving and encouraging childhood relationships with parents lays a strong foundation for thriving in young adulthood and may also buffer young people from mental health problems." Price-Robertson, Smart & Brom eld, Family Matters, 2010, No.85, p.15.
