Successful Single Parenting

Whether a parent is single by choice, as the result of the other parent’s death, or due to divorce, single parenting is often very challenging. This workshop provides single parents with information and resources that can support them in their parental role. Participants will:

• Identify formal and informal sources of parenting support.
• Discuss the importance of self-care and good communication skills.
• Explore ways of increasing family cooperation.

This workshop was developed by Leanne Spengler, Human Development Regional Specialist.
