"SUPPORTING PARENTS PARENTING ALONE"

 

From time to time you may feel as if you have the weight of the world on your shoulders, others don't seem to understand, or you don't want to burden them with your problems by telling them how you feel. Being a lone parent can be very rewarding, but sometimes the responsibility can be overwhelming and seem like a lot to cope with.                                                                                                                                          Here at South Tipperary Lone Parent Initiative we offer support and provide a safe caring and confidential place where you can talk about your life and find solutions that get you back on track again.
