Programs

It's easier to raise healthy children than to mend broken adults.

Single Not Alone is dedicated to providing support for single mothers and their children. First and foremost, that means helping address both social stigma and the personal feelings of insufficiency that often hobble women and children living in single-parent homes.

We currently have three primary program areas:

Mental Health

Decades of research have shown that single mothers are more likely to experience episodic and chronic depression and anxiety. Similarly, children raised in single-mother households are at heightened risk for substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and both outwardly- and inwardly-focused destructive behaviors and disorders.

Single Not Alone will work to directly address the mental health challenges faced by single mothers and their children. We will do this by building networks of service providers, leveraging existing programs and new technologies, and crafting outreach and informational programs to connect mothers and their children with counseling services and mental wellness programs.

After-School Program Support

After-School Programs are a vital source of enrichment, childcare, and “safe spaces” for school-aged children. Most working families in America rely on these programs. That’s even more the case for single mothers, who disproportionately face financial hardship, relying on multiple jobs and “gig” work, or working in fields with non-standard hours or hard-to-predict schedules.

After-school programs were already strained before the pandemic. Many were suspended during the pandemic, and a huge portion have not fully recovered, or returned at all.

Single Not Alone will support quality after-school programs by developing communities of eligible service providers and partnering with organizations and donors to connect existing programs with services, qualified staff, and necessary equipment and supplies.

Community Partnerships

It’s widely recognized that strong communities thrive when local businesses and non-profits work together to address the unique challenges they face. Many organizations struggle to make a lasting impact due to limited resources and fragmented efforts.

Community partnerships can bridge this gap. By collaborating with like-minded businesses and nonprofits, Single Not Alone aims to create a robust network dedicated to enhancing the well-being of families in need. Through these partnerships, we will coordinate efforts to deliver targeted support where it’s needed most, leveraging collective resources for greater impact.

In addition, we will facilitate opportunities for businesses, non-profits, and individuals to pool their resources effectively, ensuring that every contribution directly benefits those who need it. By minimizing overhead costs and maximizing the reach of our initiatives, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of single mothers and their children.
