Strong Together

Single Parent & Caregiver Support Group

Being a single parent can be tough, but you don’t have to do it by yourself.
Strong Together offers a safe, welcoming space to share experiences, find encouragement, and connect with others who understand.

Join us for honest conversation, practical support, and a community that cares. Meetings include open discussions, resource sharing, and occasional guest speakers on topics such as self-care, co-parenting, and financial wellness.

No matter where you are in your parenting journey, you don’t have to do it alone. Strong Together is a place to find connection, compassion, and strength in community.

Who This Group Is For?

Strong Together is for single parents and single caregivers of children of any age who:

  • Want a supportive space to talk openly about the realities of parenting

  • Are looking for community and connection with others in similar situations

  • Would like practical tools, resources, and encouragement

  • Prefer a small group setting where relationships and trust can grow over time

You do not need to have everything “figured out” to join—this group is a space to learn, share, and grow together.

How the Group Works

Strong Together is designed to support single parents and caregivers through all phases of the parenting journey. Group meetings may include:

  • Guided topics and open discussion
    Space to share your experiences, ask questions, and explore challenges and successes.

This is a small, consistent group, which helps build trust, safety, and deeper connection over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Single parents and single caregivers of children of any age are welcome to apply. This includes biological, foster, adoptive, kinship, and other caregivers in a primary parenting role.

  • No. You do not need to be in individual therapy to participate. If you are currently working with a therapist, this group can be a helpful complement to your existing support.

  • This is primarily a peer support group with a Facilitator. It focuses on shared experiences, practical tools, and mutual support. Some psychoeducation and structured topics are included, but it is not a substitute for individual therapy.

  • You’ll meet one-on-one with the Facilitator (by phone or video/in person). They will:

    • Ask about your experiences as a single parent/caregiver

    • Explore what you’re hoping to gain from the group

    • Explain expectations, confidentiality, and group guidelines

    • Answer any questions you may have

  • Life happens, and occasional absences are understandable. However, because this is a small, closed group, consistent attendance is strongly encouraged to maintain safety, trust, and continuity for all members.

    Full Spectrum Doula, CD(DONA)

    I’m a single parent who has lived the challenges and resilience that come with raising a child alone. I want to create a space to offer the support, understanding, and resources I once needed myself. My goal is to help other single parents feel seen, supported, and never alone on their journey.

Before joining, every participant completes a pre-group interview to help ensure the group is a good fit and to clarify goals and expectations. A group informational session may be offered before the group starts.
