Comfort in CoParenting
Helping parents work together
The goal of Comfort in Coparenting is to provide assessments, high-level educational sessions, family mediation services, coaching (using motivational interviewing and coaching techniques), mentoring and modeling, and referrals to counseling services and/or case management services to facilitate a healthier co-parenting relationship. The program is designed to engage families for a minimum of three months.
Comfort in Coparenting targets couples who are pregnant of parenting at any age, marital status, sexual orientation, or gender. The program is designed to effectively reach and enroll low-income (according to 2021 Federal Poverty Guidelines) BIPOC couples/parents. Given the time-intensive nature of the program’s services, Comfort in Coparenting seeks to serve 10 couples per program year. Each participant will receive up to six hours of family mediation (resulting in a parenting time plan) and ongoing coaching and mentoring services.

Faith-Based Projects
Ending the HIV Epidemic
Enroll in the Commitment to Mobilize!
As public health professionals, we cannot do it alone. We need your skill, your relationships, your reputation, and your wisdom to make our communities healthier. Whatever you can commit to, big or small, WILL make a difference. We welcome all faith-based entities. This includes all denominations of churches, ministries, groups, those unaffiliated, and other entities motivated by faith, a higher power, or religion. This educational program is a safe space for everyone.
The BaBa Project
Fatherhood Education and Support Services
The BaBa Project is a unique program that is designed for fathers of all ages who reside in the Central Florida area and have children between the ages of 0-18. This program will provide education and support services designed to reduce the burden on fathers who do not have the knowledge of or support to establish or utilize their parental rights in the State of Florida. The ultimate intent is to facilitate and support healthier father-child and co-parenting relationships.
The BaBa Project will conduct at least 12 Fatherhood Legitimacy Education Workshops (FLEW) each program year. These workshops will provide education on father’s rights, provide legitimization forms, and provide assistance (not legal advice) in completing and filing this documentation. The project seeks to assist a minimum of 100 fathers each program year.
