Written By Amy Holland

Our amazing Uni Placement Jess Hope has written this blog is to raise awareness of what children from single parent households need to thrive!  Our 2025 Youth Action Academy members (young people from single parent households age 16-24) have shared what they think a child living in a single parent household needs to go on to have a mentally healthy future. These were the 8 core themes running through all of their answers: Connection with others with shared experience, emotional support, a safe environment, clear communication, educational support, positive experiences, positive relationships and mental health support.

To get involved in our Youth Action Academy as a young person from a single parent household then drop an email to talia@singleparentswellbeing.com and find out more about our Mental Health Manifesto- Action for our future project here.
