Tired, isolated, overwhelmed?
You don’t have to go through it alone.
Being a single mother comes with its own set of challenges. Between family responsibilities, everyday life, and the need to take care of yourself, it can be difficult to find the balance and support you need.
Mothers Forward is a six-week program designed to support single mothers, strengthen their independence, and promote their well-being.
Through a caring, strengths-based approach tailored to your circumstances, you can build your confidence, connect with other mothers, and gain practical tools for your everyday life and your future.
A journey to empower you and build connections
You’ll benefit from support that combines:
- Themed workshops and presentations to gain knowledge and practical tools;
- Discussion groups that provide a safe space to exchange ideas, share experiences, and connect with other participants;
- One-on-one meetings with our support team to receive guidance tailored to your needs;
- A strengths-based approach that builds on your abilities, potential, and life journey;
- A supportive, non-judgmental environment where everyone can express themselves freely and with confidence.
