T.O.N.E. U.P.
The Uplift Journal
Stories. Strategy. Stability.
The Uplift Journal is the official blog of T.O.N.E. U.P. (Teaching Ourselves New Examples to Uplift People). Here, we spotlight the real journeys of justice-impacted individuals and share practical tools, policy updates, and community resources that support reentry and reduce recidivism. Whether you're returning home, supporting a loved one, or working in human services, our goal is to inform, inspire, and mobilize.
Because no one should face the road to restoration alone.
