Fathers’ UpLift provides mental health counseling, coaching, and advocacy to assist fathers with overcoming barriers (racism, emotional, traumatic, and addiction-based barriers) that prevent them from remaining engaged in their children’s lives.
We uplift fathers and strengthen families nationwide through service, love, and encouragement. Discover our unique blend of services focused on fatherhood, mental health, racial and social equity.
Based on compiled data from Pew Research and the US Census, there are an estimated 4.5-5.5 million absent fathers in the US today, roughly 14% of all fathers of minor children. Because of this, millions of American children are growing up fatherless, roughly 10 million. Our purpose as an organization is to help more fathers overcome the obstacles that lead to these absences.
