The Father
Center
The UIH Family
Partners Father Center is a multicultural parenting education and
resource nexus where "fathers learn to become Dads." The
Center offers a mentoring environment where adult education, computer and
financial literacy, health concerns, anger management, and job readiness
skills are addressed. The Father Center helps to identify employment
opportunities and even transports the fathers to/from jobs when
necessary. Operation
Fatherhood equips unemployed or underemployed non-custodial
fathers to play a positive role in their children's lives, emotionally as
well as financially. As lead agency of the Trenton Men's
Collaborative (funded by Children's
Futures, Inc.), UIH Family Partners provides underserved and
marginalized men with linkages to more than two dozen health and social
service agencies. The UIH-hosted annual Fatherhood Conference
examines cutting edge research and issues in the field and features
nationally-recognized speakers.
A founding
member of the Mercer County Ex-offender Reentry Partnership, UIH
Family Partners is taking a proactive role in helping individuals leaving
incarceration successfully return to their families, the workplace, and
society while trying to prevent recidivism.
