Uplift

• Sanu Postnatal Retreat unites a physician-developed, mother-first program with serene luxury for an exceptional postpartum recovery experience.
• TYSONS, Va., Jan. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sanu , the first physician-developed luxury postnatal retreat providing elevated postpartum recovery and support, has opened at The Watermark Hotel in Tysons, VA. Sanu is currently booking reservations for families welcoming newborns in 2024.
• Inspired by her Korean roots, Kim has modeled the retreat after South Korea's "Sanhujori" concept of postpartum care centers and the traditional "Sam Chil Il" 21-day healing period.
• To support physical and mental health, skill-building, and a comfortable, productive recovery, the Sanu Postnatal Retreat offers evidence-based programming supported by personalized, full-service, round-the-clock care and luxurious comforts for new moms and their families.

• The acquisition expands UpLift's ability to deliver team-based therapy and psychiatry to all 50 states and provides a pathway to increase its rapidly growing network of patients and insurers.
• Minded patients now have access to continued care through UpLift's platform which has surpassed over 11,000 patients.
• Over half (54.7%) of adults in the U.S. with a mental illness do not receive treatment, totaling over 28 million individuals .
• UpLift's integrated behavioral health platform is built to tackle the mental healthcare crisis by expanding access to high-quality, affordable therapy and psychiatry.

• Think about the advocacy of Greta Thunberg and Mikaela Loach around climate change and climate justice or Malala Yousafzai’s advocacy for all children’s rights to receive an education.
• We also share it to support youth engagement in social change and healthier school communities year round.

Health Promoting Schools

• The UpLift Partnership is rooted in a global movement and model of Health Promoting Schools, first championed by the World Health Organization and driven by the insight that “health is created and lived by people within the settings of their everyday life.” Involving youth in promoting health in schools can catalyze students’ ability to initiate and bring about positive change in the world — what researchers call their “action competence.” This includes building knowledge, motivation and competencies that align with this year’s International Youth Day theme, Green Skills for Youth.

Building ‘green skills’

• The partnership between these diverse parties is grounded in over a decade of research designed to enhance youth engagement within the Health Promoting Schools model.
• Building green skills helps them to understand the strong connection between health, well-being and nature.

Tranquility Garden

• Prior to this, the school did not have a physical outdoor seating area or place for the students and staff to connect with nature, despite its rural location.
• The Tranquility Garden now provides students, staff and animals with a calming and enjoyable place to visit and play.
• Students and staff planted fruit trees, flowers and shrubs, and built benches for seating to create the garden.

Outdoor shelter, cooking by fire

• Prior to installing the hot tent shelter and stove, few students at the school had the desire to learn outside due to the exposed nature of the outdoor space.
• The outdoor shelter now serves as a space for multiple learning opportunities that connect the students to their environment, like stargazing, cooking by fire and building outdoor education skills.

Farm-to-school movement

• This Go Fresh Salad Bar station is the final piece of a growing farm-to-school movement in their school.
• This funding provided the salad bar infrastructure necessary to support more diverse and nutritious food options at the school cafeteria.

Healthier futures

• As researchers have documented, youth participation in school health promotion enhances youth knowledge, competence, motivation and commitments to health and well-being.
• This, in turn, will help young people become active citizens for a healthier future.
• It is time for youth to have a lead role on the world’s stage, and for more adults to uplift them.

• Founded in 2020, UpLift is a technology-driven, omnichannel behavioral health provider enabling whole person, value-based care through the integration of mental and physical health.
• UpLift partners with leading national and regional health insurance plans to deliver high-quality, virtual-first psychotherapy and psychiatry.
• UpLift is playing a critical role in addressing this mental health crisis by providing access to insurance-based behavioral healthcare.
