Single Parenting
At FamilyLife Canada, our mission is to bring help and hope to all the marriages and families in Canada. That includes families with single parents.
Parenting is tough enough when there are two parents sharing the load, but we’ve seen the toll it takes on single parents when most or all of the parenting falls only on their shoulders.
So we’ve enlisted the help of two professionals for this video on demand mini series dedicated to helping single parents. You will gain wisdom from two of our favourite parenting educators: Joel Pukalo and Jenn Dean.
GriefShare
It hurts to lose someone. GriefShare is a friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life’s most difficult experiences. You don’t have to go through the grieving process alone. GriefShare is led by people who understand what you are going through and want to help. GriefShare meets weekly in 13 week cycles. Each week will include a time of video teaching and discussion time.
Any type of grief is welcome.
Dates: Fall 2025 – More details coming soon!
Time: 7-9pm
