This week for the These Dads Are Doing It Right series I am looking to put the spotlight on Fathers’ Uplift. Fathers’ UpLift empowers fathers by offering therapy, reentry support, advocacy, and workforce development. Their goal is to ensure the well-being of children and foster long-term family stability. In addition, if there are any other dads that you think we should check out, leave their name and info in the comment section below.
