In
1993 as a part of the Baltimore Healthy Start Project, Joseph T. Jones,
Jr. developed the Men's Services Program to engage men in the fight
against infant mortality and low-birth weight babies. Ultimately, this
involved providing those support services which would enable fathers to
become more active in the lives of their children. Using an intensive
case management framework and peer mentoring and support, the Men's
Services Program addresses life skills development and the removal of
barriers to parental involvement and employment. The program's product:
a father who is a positive role model in his community as well as
emotionally and financially supportive of his children and family.
