Utah’s First Lady Jeanette Herbert created the initiative
Uplift Families to connect parents to resources and information that would help
them gain the skills necessary to raise loving, responsible children.
“Our organization believes that to have a strong viable state, we must have strong viable families.” - First Lady Jeanette Herbert
The vibrant website, upliftfamilies.org,
includes free links to outside resources, videos, and articles that support the
3 fold purpose of Uplift Families: strengthen parent-child relationships,
provide tools and resources that improve parenting skills, and help children
make safe and healthy choices.
Under the parenting resources tab, the three step process allows families to make selections
that will directly link them to credible websites and community resources to
get them the information they seek. As well as referring those who wish to
speak with a person directly about their concerns or needs to 2-1-1.
Article authors include Doctor Julie de Azevedo Hanks,
lawyer and life coach Merrilee Boyack, and parenting experts Richard and Linda
Eyre. They cover topics from Financial Health to Pornography, 5 Ways to Foster
Truth-telling to De-stressing at the Holidays. Each article aims to help
parents address common and difficult issues that many families face. With
personal experiences and professional advice, these prove to be a great read.
