EP100: Empowering Men To Be Better Fathers

Charles Daniels

We speak with Dr. Charles Daniels Jr, PhD, MDiv, LICSW , co-founder and CEO of Fathers' Uplift in Dorchester, Massachusetts. 

Fathers' UpLift provides mental health counseling, coaching, advocacy, and support to help fathers overcome barriers — including racism, trauma, and addiction-based barriers — that prevent them from remaining engaged in their children's lives.

Dr. Daniels has spent the last decade providing therapy to Black men, helping them overcome the effects of toxic masculinity, racism, and oppression. He has taught at Harvard University and Simmons University and has appeared on numerous television and radio programs.

Our host for this discussion is Greg Wright, NASW's Public Relations Manager.
