Disrupting Systems… Changing Lives

Project LIFT’s innovative delivery of mental health services provides therapy through the unique platform of vocational training. At no cost, 14-24 year old young men & women engage in hands-on training in: welding, auto repair, HVAC, carpentry & construction, and more, while licensed therapists work with them to address issues including depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, abuse and anger management.

Therapy Under the Hood of a Car

Our 14 to 20-week intensive outpatient program includes individual and group counseling with licensed therapists who utilize evidence-based practices. Therapists provide high quality mental health treatment alongside vocational instructors who help teens replace substance use or other negative behaviors with productive, hands-on work using industry standard equipment in a variety of skilled trades. Unlimited aftercare is available to those who complete the initial program.
