Where are you directing your energy?

It’s easy to focus on things outside our control, other people’s actions, past events, or uncertain outcomes. But real empowerment begins when we shift our focus to what we can influence: our responses, our efforts, and our attitudes.

This is what “Locus of Control” is all about. Strengthening your internal focus builds resilience, reduces stress, and helps you move forward with clarity.

Where will you place your focus today?

One of the most difficult parts of grief is the feeling that it will last forever.

But grief is not a permanent state, it's a process. And a process has a path forward.

A simple step you can take today: Name your feeling. Say it out loud or write it down. "I feel angry." "I feel lost." This simple act helps you begin to process it, instead of carrying it silently.

You don't have to walk that path alone. We provide a compassionate space to help you navigate your way through.

Our Story

J4BG Family was founded in 2006 by Larry Jackson Jr., MSE, tLMHC (www.larryjacksonjr.com).

In 2006, J4BG originally started under the vision "J4BG Academy". During that time Larry Jackson developed a community-based group guidance counseling curriculum for at-risk youth in the downtown area of Dubuque. That outreach was provided every Monday night and continued for 6 years.

In 2014, a building was purchased in the downtown area of Dubuque where free counseling services were provided along with continued community outreach. The organization was renamed J4BG Family Services, where holistic, and empowerment directed objectives were offered to at-risk families in Dubuque.

Some of the projects that have supported under the umbrella of J4BG Family include: the Beautification Project, the March Against Violence, Family Nights, and Fatherhood Training
