Fathers’ UpLift works to assist fathers in overcoming barriers that prevent them from remaining engaged in their children’s lives. Fathers’ Uplift utilizes a three-tiered approach to their mission, focusing first on impacting individuals, then on building families, and finally on enabling societies and communities to better serve and support fathers and families. Staff ensure services are accessible to both English-speaking and Spanish-speaking populations in the community to maximize feelings of trust and familiarity.
Services:
- Clinical Support Program: Clinical therapy services for men and families to help them navigate challenges related to parenting and expressing their feelings.
- Therapeutic Coaching Services: Personal mentorship/guidance and holistic assistance with employment, houselessness, custody challenges, and more. Participants in the Fathers’ Homecoming Program meet with case managers for up to 6-months prior to reentry to build a plan of care. Upon release, participants are provided with a “Bag for Dad” and transportation to their current place of residence.
- Youth Services: Supporting fatherless youth with programming to address the root cause of fatherlessness and stop cycles of father absenteeism.
- Male Engagement Institute: Trainings, curriculum, and internships provided with the goal of guiding mental health agencies, government agencies, and schools of social work on how to best serve and support fathers and families.
