We serve single parents and their families.
Before they reach the age of 18, one of out of every two children in the United States will have lived in a single-parent home at some point in their lives. If you are a single parent, you know it can be overwhelming for both you and your children. That’s why the Single Parent Support Network (SPSN) is here to offer the support, comfort, and services single parents need. We’re here to give you a hand up, not a handout! We exist to help the drowning emerge, to help the strong become stronger. Our network is full of members with healthy, restored lives, and we are proud to have been to be there to help along the way.
