Our Purpose and Story
Healthy Fathers was founded in June 2022 by Jevani P. Barron, inspired by the memory of his late father. Driven by the belief that the right resources and support could transform the lives of men, Jevani created Healthy Fathers to provide men with the tools they need to thrive mentally, physically, and financially.
Born from personal experience, this initiative seeks to ensure that no family endures the pain of loss when help is within reach. Healthy Fathers is dedicated to offering men the guidance, skills, and strategies to lead fulfilled and empowered lives.
His Story
Our Founder’s Why
My father was the strongest man I knew—the hardest-working person in my life. He rarely showed emotions, consistently showed up for others, and was completely committed to ensuring his kids had food on the table and clothes on our backs. If someone had asked me 100 times whether I ever thought my father would take his own life, I would have answered 'no' 101 times.
When my little brother and I found his body after hearing that gunshot, everything I thought I knew about strength changed. That devastating moment taught me that even the strongest men can be fighting battles we never see. Since then, it has been my mission to create spaces where strength includes vulnerability—where men can be both strong and supported. Every father helps honor my father's memory and prevents another family from experiencing that unimaginable loss.
