This Father’s Day
Join us in empowering fathers to be all that we know they can be.
Fathers’ UpLift exists because father absence exists for an estimated 10 million children in the US.
Fathers’ UpLift exists because nearly 10% of Black, Hispanic, and American Indian deaths in Massachusetts in 2023 were due to overdose.
Fathers’ UpLift exists because only 1/4 of Black and Hispanic men are likely to seek therapy in the midst of depression due to stigma and a lack of services catered to their needs.
Fathers’ UpLift exists because nearly 30% of men released from incarceration in MA recidivate within 3 years.
Yet, among the fathers served by FUL in 2023:
– 93% report improved relationships with their children & 88% are regularly engaged with them
– 86% report improved quality of life
– 90% feel “completely” or “mostly” hopeful about their future
– Distress scores decreased by an average of 7%
– PHQ-9 scores (a clinical measure for depression) decreased by an average of 6%
We know the challenges our men and fathers and their families face, including racial, economic, substance, trauma, and relational barriers. We also know some of the best ways to help them overcome those challenges. You, too, can partner with us in helping men to overcome obstacles and in turn be the best fathers they can be, changing generations beyond all of our lives.
