Welcome to Single Parent Magazine. It is so exciting to be apart of a magazine that focuses solely on the single parent community. Our mission here at Single Parent Magazine is to be the premier magazine for the single parent community.

Our focus is on supplying the information which can be used as a map to navigate through the journey of single parenthood. Our theme for 2010 is Domestic Violence. In our Domestic violence series, Single Parent Magazine will be explaining what it is, what it does, how to get out, move on, what can be done to help victims, what resources are available, what are the steps to becoming financially independent, who is affected by it and how to get and stay safe. We also have a 12 month series called Single Parent Magazine’s Step by Step Guide to Getting an Education.

Our focus is on supplying the
information which can be used as
a map to navigate through the
journey of single parenthood.

We are going to walk you through the process of obtaining a college degree. This includes the admission process, financial aid, scholarship, grants, loans, the services available to help the single parent, how to study, along with tips and tricks to make college life easier. We will help you find solutions to single parent challenges such as housing on college campuses, how to study when you hold a full time job and go to school full time. We will provide you with solutions that will allow you to manage these things without neglecting the children. In every issue, Single Parent Magazine will have “If I Knew Then What I Know Now”, a column written by a single parent that as already raised their children and would like to share an experience, impart some wisdom, and/or tell us something that they wish someone would have told them during their single parent journey. Our family law attorneys have a monthly column designed to help with a variety of single parent issues. They will also be answering questions provided by you. We have the Single Parent and Single Parent Children of the month that will showcase a parent and child(ren) that are making it happen. Look for Family Fun Things To Do, SPM recommends (our reviews of DVD’s, CD’s and books we think you will enjoy), medical information and articles designed to guide you through the mysteries of single parenthood. Once again, welcome. We are glad to have you join us.
We know you will enjoy reading Single Parent Magazine as much as we enjoyed creating it for you.
