community resources for parents
Single parents are BUSY! Children, work, school, meetings, meals, sports, extracurriculars, pets, doctor appointments, church, and so much more. You all are superheroes. We are constantly thinking of new ways we can impact our community in a positive way. We wholeheartedly believe in the power of mentoring, but we know it is not always the only answer.
Below are resources within our community that can benefit, strengthen, heal, and equip us.
Some of our community partners include mental health counselors, grief counselors, churches, alternative schools, summer camps, parenting tools, and more!
