Uplifting Fatherhood 

Fathers’ UpLift provides mental health counseling, coaching, advocacy, and resource support to assist fathers with overcoming barriers. Those barriers are racism, emotional, traumatic, and addiction-based barriers. Those barriers prevent them from remaining engaged in their children’s lives. In addition, they uplift fathers and strengthen families nationwide. They do this through service, love, and encouragement. Discover their unique blend of services focused on fatherhood, mental health, racial and social equity. Check them out at their website at fathersuplift.org.
