How does Lift Up Virginia's evidence-based initiative transform us? It’s when we all come together. It’s when we grow our skillsets to cultivate resilience. It’s through the training and knowledge that is science-backed and evidence-based. It’s through the repairing of our cells and DNA, in our own lives and for generations to come. It’s through each one of us doing a little bit every day to lift our communities and ourselves. Above all, it’s through our stories. By sharing our experiences with each other, we build the relationships vital to make the most profound changes for ourselves and others. Read LUV stories! | |
