For over a decade, UIH Family Partners has been a pioneer of the emerging field of fatherhood programs.  The agency’s Father Center, a multicultural parenting education and resource center located at 4 North Broad Street, 2^nd Floor Rear, is a place where “fathers learn to become Dads.”

 While the Father Center serves men from all walks of life, the majority of the men who participate in its programs are unemployed, non-custodial fathers.  Many face systemic barriers to finding and retaining employment that pays a living wage.  Through The Father Center, men grappling with numerous challenges are empowered and equipped to play a more active and positive role in their children’s lives, emotionally as well as financially.

 Resources available to men through The Father Center include:

• Culturally sensitive parenting education classes and Mercer County’s most extensive collection of data pertaining to fathers and fatherhood;
• Work readiness training and job search/job placement assistance as well as post-hire follow-up, including transportation assistance;
• On-site Adult Basic Education (ABE) (offered in conjunction with Mercer County Community College);
• Conveniently scheduled individual and group computer literacy classes in the onsite Computer Lab;
• Anger and stress management, financial literacy and time management training;
• Healthmobile visits;
• Mentoring;
• Parent/child activities and a special book- and toy-filled area where Dads and their children can play and bond;
• Peer support and therapeutic services for men suffering from situational depression through UIH Family Partners’ signature Community of Fathers program;
• and much more.
