Project UPLIFT

Project UPLIFT (Using Practice and Learning to Increase Favourable Thoughts) is an 8-week program that uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and mindfulness to teach people living with epilepsy a valuable skill set that may reduce depression, and improve quality of life in people living with epilepsy.

Benefits of Project UPLIFT:

• Increases knowledge and skills
• Reduces depression
• Improves the quality of life of people living with epilepsy
• Teaches methods in challenging thoughts and behaviours
• Teaches coping, problem-solving, and mindfulness skills

Project UPLIFT sessions are facilitated over the Internet by a trained facilitator and a mental health professional, one of whom lives with epilepsy. The BC Epilepsy Society is proud to have the only trained Project UPLIFT facilitator in the entire province on its staff.

The list for Project UPLIFT is now being taken. If you are interested in participating, please email Sonia at sonia@bcepilepsy.com to have your name added to the list.

This program is part of the Managing Epilepsy Well Network.
