Uplift Coaching

Mental health often starts with the emotional and the physical. Our coaches are here to help.

Coaching Services

In order to enhance our Clinical Support program beyond therapy, we began Father-to-Father (F2F) Coaching services, which now serve as our second pillar of services, in which we provide personal mentorship, guidance and assistance with matters like job searches, custody challenges, and more.

Our Uplifting Coaches are experienced mentors, fathers and father figures. Each coach has overcome a significant barrier (homelessness, depression, anxiety, unemployment, fear, and feelings of inadequacy) in their life that nearly prevented them from remaining engaged in the lives of their children. As a coach, they utilize their personal experiences to assist fathers in managing the stressors related to fatherhood, as well as achieving their desired goals.

Individual Support

Our coaches provide the men they serve with a wide range of individual support services intended to enhance the support provided through therapy. This includes mobile wellness check-ins, resources such as food assistance, legal advocacy, and more. Our goal as coaches is to ensure that the stressors in your life are adequately addressed to help you thrive as an individual and a father.

Group Courses

Our coaches lead 12-to-18-week courses covering such topics as managing emotions, parenting, housing and employment, and more. These courses help fathers to overcome barriers, more effectively engage with their families and children, and to grow as individuals. You can explore our current courses HERE.

Ambassadors and Sustained Support

Even after an individual has completed their experience with our coaching services, they are provided with sustained monthly check-ins through their assigned Fathers’ UpLift Ambassador. Once you have been a Fathers’ UpLift client, you are forever a part of the family. We are here to help no matter what obstacles you face.

Fathers’ Homecoming Reentry Support

In this program, we partner with incarcerated fathers up to 3 months before their release in order to ensure they have adequate resources, a proper frame of mind, and the necessary support system to make certain that within their first 48 hours of release they have begun a healthy path back into their communities.

On the day of their release, a clinician meets with the father at the gate with one of our “Bags for Dads” in hand, a bag which we fill with basic necessities and provide to them as a gesture of support and care. That father is then provided transportation to their nearby location of choice, whether that’s a family home, shelter, halfway house, or other location. When appropriate (and desired by the individual), we continue an ongoing coaching and therapy relationship over the course of their life outside of prison as well.

This program has resulted in a one-year recidivism rate of only 4% for the fathers we’ve guided through reentry so far.
