Be a Part of the Restoration

Project D.A.D.™ (Dads Against Depression) is a flagship mental health initiative presented by Fathers of Faith Inc.™, a national nonprofit organization committed to empowering fathers through faith-driven education, legal advocacy, and transformational support.

This program addresses the growing crisis of depression, anxiety, and emotional isolation among fathers—particularly those navigating divorce, custody battles, incarceration, poverty, or generational trauma. Through a nationally supported but locally delivered model, Project D.A.D.™ empowers communities to take immediate and impactful action.

Now strengthened by the Project D.A.D.™ Court Referral Program, fathers referred by attorneys, guardians ad litem, or the courts can participate in a six-week, faith-led empowerment and support series. This court-recognized pathway helps fathers demonstrate stability, personal growth, and good faith in custody and parenting time cases while receiving critical mental health resources and spiritual mentorship.

🎯 Mission Statement
To normalize, prioritize, and support fathers’ mental health across the nation by equipping communities with the tools to break stigma, build safe spaces, and provide direct access to emotional wellness—empowering fathers to lead their families with strength, faith, and stability.

“You don’t have to carry it alone.”

The Fathers Forward Empowerment Support Community—the heartbeat of Project D.A.D.™ (Dads Against Depression)—is a safe, judgment-free brotherhood where fathers find strength, faith, and emotional healing together.

More than a support group, it’s a movement of men walking side by side through life’s toughest seasons: custody battles, depression, alienation, or the everyday pressures of fatherhood. Here, every voice matters and every story is heard.

What to Expect:

• Weekly or biweekly meetups (virtual & in-person) for real connection
   
• Fathers Forward Walks – combining exercise, conversation, and faith-filled encouragement
   
• Faith-based support and open, judgment-free dialogue
   
• Guest speakers: licensed therapists, pastors, and community leaders
   
• Opportunities to serve, lead, and inspire
   

Step forward. Link arms. Move together. This is where healing begins and fathers rise—stronger, wiser, and ready to lead their families forward.
