Project LIFT

We are dedicated to improving the lives of at-risk teens and their families through treatment of substance use disorders, mental health counseling, mentoring, and vocational skills training.

Project LIFT’s innovative delivery of mental health services provides therapy through the unique platform of vocational training. At no cost, 14-25 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.

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 and substance abuse 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.
