❤️ The Good News with YYY Dads: Austin Crabtree

At the heart of YYY Dads, it's always been about the kids… helping them reconnect with their fathers, build healthy relationships, and find stability in difficult seasons.

As we head into Father's Day weekend, we're celebrating dads like Austin Crabtree. Austin is working as a supervisor for a recovery housing organization, has recently moved into his own apartment, and is enjoying more time with his son. He also helps other justice-involved individuals find employment and continues his own growth through counseling and recovery support with Step-Up Inc.

When fathers are supported, kids thrive. ❤️

A lot of fathers coming home want to reconnect with their kids immediately.

But reentry is more complicated than people realize.

You’re trying to find work, housing, transportation, stability — while also learning how to parent again outside of a controlled environment. There’s pressure to “get it together” fast, even when the system hasn’t prepared you for the transition.

People celebrate the release date.
They don’t always talk about the mental adjustment that comes after it.
