Singles

Single life is a great opportunity to accomplish certain goals you may have such as finishing your education or starting your career. But eventually most singles start thinking about the desire for a serious relationship and starting a family. The decisions you make about marriage and family will affect the rest of your life. Studies prove that people who choose marriage fare better physically, socially and economically It is also proven that children from married, two-parent homes are less likely to be raised in poverty, more likely to attend college, less likely to use drugs or alcohol and less likely to divorce when they get married [http://www.acf.hhs.gov/healthymarriage/benefits/index.html].

Making a decision for marriage is making a decision for a better life for you, the person you love, and your children. Family Solutions of PA will offer Healthy Marriage Family Education Seminars for singles to help dispel the myths about marriage and give you the information you need to make the right choice for you.

Single Parents

Parenting is a full time job, even when there are two parents in the home. When decisions are made that create a one parent home, the parent and children face unique challenges. Family Solutions of PA will offer materials and seminars that address the challenges single parent homes face, as well as education to help single parents gain the confidence to consider choosing marriage when the time is right. In the future, there will also be opportunities for the children of single parent homes to participate in a youth mentoring program to help them cope with the social, mental and emotional needs of children in single parent homes.
