stablished in
1859 as an orphanage, Union Industrial Home for Children; UIH Family Partners continues to provide
a comprehensive array of client-centered and outcome-based programs dedicated
to bolstering fragile families, and developing resiliency in young people.
For two
decades, UIH Family Partners has offered the greater Trenton community,
services focusing on the unique needs and challenges faced by fathers and men.
UIH Family Partners’ Fatherhood Programs equip and empower unemployed or
under-employed fathers to play a more positive and active role in their
children’s lives, emotionally as well as financially. We also offer teen
pregnancy prevention strategies through the NJ Personal Responsibility
Education Program (NJPREP) for young men to avoid premature fatherhood.
Outcome
measures indicate that our programs are making an important difference in the
lives of families across the county.
These programs and services include:
-
The Father Center – an education and resource center where fathers, young and old, learn to become Dads or prevent unwanted pregnancies; information and referrals offered; Dress2Impress™ career clothing available.
-
Operation Fatherhood – a dynamic program that offers parenting education; child support assistance; HSE Prep; work readiness and job placement assistance through Work First NJ funding; resume creation and review; post-hire support; computer literacy training; and parent-child bonding activities.
The
overwhelming majority of men served, are men of color, young men who live on
the fringes of society and face systematic barriers to employment, and men who
have had involvement with the criminal justice system. UIH Family Partners is
also proud to be a founding member of the Mercer County Reentry Task Force.
Because the
agency is strongly committed to exploring the relationship between theory and
practice and to sharing best practices with other organizations, UIH Family
Partners hosts annual Fatherhood events that address cutting edge research in
the field, bring together renowned presenters, and attract social and human
services professionals from across the Tri-State area.
