Brightpoint Central Region

Brightpoint Central Region Brightpoint engages with over 37,000 children youth and families each year in 70 counties in Illinois

Brightpoint is a distinguished child and family service organization. We started our journey as Children’s Home & Aid and have been serving Illinois since 1883. Children’s Home & Aid was founded on the belief that we had a responsibility to find homes for children. We evolved and recognized that there is bravery in the daily choices our families make, and that bravery serves as the spark that igni

tes the opportunities for children and youth to thrive. Brightpoint promises to be brave with our families and support their brave choices, because we know that those choices can create strong families and strong families create thriving children.

"One thing that I like about the Dad’s Uplifting Dads group, is the positivity. You get to speak with people of different backgrounds, experiences and approaches to life, who all want to be the best version of themselves for their kids. Their knowledge is incredibly helpful when weaving through the many ways to support our kids. You get an opportunity to share what has worked for you and you also get an opportunity to caution against pitfalls you’ve experienced. David does a fantastic job facilitating the group and providing his own knowledge. He makes everyone feel welcome and the conversations are very engaging. The group has provided wisdom, validation and encouragement, which has helped me be a better father, husband and member of the community. "

"What I love about DadFit is that it’s more than just a workout. Training alongside other dads creates a real sense of brotherhood. There’s a quiet encouragement that reminds you you’re not doing this fatherhood thing alone. You leave feeling stronger—physically and mentally—and you carry that reminder home with you." 💪🏽👨‍👧‍👦
