The country's first mental health and substance abuse treatment facility for fathers and families.
Fathers' UpLift empowers fathers by offering therapy, reentry support, advocacy, and workforce development. We encourage collaboration with mothers and engage the community to help fathers overcome barriers (racism, emotional, traumatic, and addiction) that prevent them from being actively involved in their children's lives. Our goal is to ensure the well-being of children and foster long-term family stability.

About This Program
To extend Fathers’ UpLift’s impact so that more men can have access to the care and supports they need to be positively engaged in their children’s lives, Fathers’ UpLift is beginning its licensing program. Annually, we will distribute ten licenses to organizations interested in replicating our efforts. We will engage organizations to implement Managing Emotions and/or Pre-Father Care, two of Fathers’ UpLift’s group programs, as part of our continuum of care for fathers and fathers-to-be.
