New Imani House program, Father Focus, Guides Men to Becoming Better Fathers<\/em><\/h3>\n

Father Focus is a new six-week peer counseling program at Imani House<\/a>, designed to help men build better relationships with their children. The current program has about 20 participants and celebrated its first graduation on June 1.<\/p>\n

The Father Focus program combines an evidence-based curriculum with group discussion and counseling, said Frederick Wilson, Peer Specialist for Substance Use Disorders. Wilson, who launched the empowerment program, is also a pastor, a Child Protective Services worker, Certified Associate Alcohol & Drug Counselor II, and a Medication-Assisted Recovery Specialist.<\/p>\n

Wilson uses his many professional certifications and training in the Father Focus program, but he also draws upon his life experiences, including 23 years in prison for 53 felonies to address a need: men fulfilling their roles as fathers. \u00a0\u201cThe greatest epidemic is not AIDs, racism or opioids,\u201d he said, \u201cbut absentee fathers. What are we doing to address this?\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the core goals of the program is teaching men new skills.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want these men to pay attention to what\u2019s inside,\u201d he said. \u201cYou\u2019ve got to learn to love yourself, see yourself as valuable.\u201d \u00a0Wilson notes that the men in the program, all from Imani House, face daily challenges of addictive behavior and varying experiences of trauma.<\/p>\n

Wilson is a role model for the men, speaking openly about his personal experiences \u2013 the stubbornness, tough-guy bluster and violence that led him to jail. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t quit,\u201d he said. He points to a mug shot on his office door \u2013 a smiling closeup, full of bravado, with the caption \u201cEastern Reception \u2013 Bonne Terre, Missouri #535364\u201d and the date 04\/26\/13. Just above the mug shot, however, is a more recent photo of Wilson \u2013 again smiling, but this with kindness and sparking eyes, and wearing a tuxedo.<\/p>\n

He uses the photos in talking with the Father Focus participants. The photos show the juxtaposition of the times of Wilson\u2019s life, and his evolution to man of faith, integrity, and wisdom. He explains how an FHA home loan application rejection gave him cause to celebrate, for it told him why the application was rejected and he clearly saw what he needed to do to get an approval.<\/p>\n

He looks for life lessons in every encounter, and he shares his personal story to illustrate the power of believing in yourself. It resonates with the men in the program, who know they can share anything with him, know they can trust him as he helps them identify destructive patterns in their lives.<\/p>\n

Ron Carr, a graduate of the Father Focus program<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ron Carr is a Kansas City native with more than 20 years\u2019 experience in a high-stress corporate role, which produced cycles of addiction and depression.<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout my addiction, I was not a communicative father,\u201d said Carr, a member of the Father Focus inaugural graduating class. \u201cI did child support, but I got away from communicating with my two daughters.\u201d<\/p>\n

He credits Wilson with helping him change his mindset, with deep engagement and trust. \u201cFrederick was the first person here I met. He saw something in me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilson uses his stories and guides the men in the Father Focus program. \u201cWe talk and give therapy to each other,\u201d Carr said. \u201cHe taught us to be open.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taking the program to heart, Carr decided to lead by example. He asked to spend Thanksgiving with his family, two daughters, age 34 and 33, and their children. He asked them to talk, to really unload how they felt about him, and he promised to listen.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt took a man to sit there,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was hard, and we all shed tears.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carr said he wanted to show that he is willing to change to be a part of their lives. And his life has changed since then, he said.<\/p>\n

The bonds of trust are building, he said, noting with some surprise that now his daughters call him and he receives texts and photos from the grandkids. \u201cThese are grown women who will call me to talk about issues and problems, and I\u2019m there to receive. I\u2019m totally involved.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cThis program taught me to be the person I wanted to be with my children.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joe Vesper Owen III, a graduate of the Father Focus program<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Joe Vesper Owen III is another member of the inaugural Father Focus graduating class who\u2019s building a new chapter with his family.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt completely changed the way I talk to them, the way I treat them, the way I react to them,\u201d he said about his grandchildren. Owen said he never had much presence in the lives of his children and saw that his three grandchildren now faced the same situation without fathers being present.<\/p>\n

Father Focus taught Owen how to play with and talk with his three grandsons, ages 7, 4 and 3. \u201cI never knew how negative swear words can be on growing minds,\u201d he said, noting that he is breaking habits of cursing, like threatening a \u201cwhupping.\u201d He slipped once, with the youngest and apologized, asking the little one to help him change. \u00a0The child responded with love.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so very grateful for what this program has taught me. I\u2019m able to break the cycle,\u201d he said. \u201cMy grandchildren — they are my purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n

Owen, who lives in Oak Grove, credits Imani House with helping him gain his self-respect and a new attitude. \u201cI am a different person, inside and out. I am learning who I am, and my gratitude is immeasurable.\u201d<\/p>\n
