Fathers' Uplift, Inc.

The effects of poverty and lack of resources on individuals from underserved communities is the most pressing health issue of our time. Among other things, these factors can negatively affect mental health, resulting in depression, paranoia, and anxiety.

Many of the men we have worked with lacked guidance and support from their fathers when they were children. They are placed in a position where they are unable to provide such guidance to their own child because:

They have no example to follow re. being active in the lives of their child;
They may not be in a position to support the child or themselves; and
They may not be mentally and emotionally healthy enough to endure the stressors of poverty and associated social factors.

The purpose of Fathers’ Uplift is to pinpoint these stressors and assist fathers in overcoming them, while strengthening and sustaining the fathers’ presence in their child’s life. We will work tirelessly to bring to life the confidence they already possess by focusing on their strengths.
