Episode 17 Raising Children As A Single Parent

Hey guys it's RJ and Kalhil! In today’s society, single parent families have become even more common than the “traditional” or “nuclear family” consisting of a mother, father, and children. Presently, we’re seeing all sorts of single parent families led by mothers, fathers, and even by a grandparent raising their grandchildren. Life inside the household of a single parent, although common, can be quite stressful for both the adult and the children. Single parent families deal with many other pressures and potential problem areas that other families may not face. Along with those pressures there also comes misconceptions associated with being a single parent. In today’s episode we decided to bring on someone who has lived experience being both a professional as well as being single parent. Today’s guest, LaKrisha T. Coleman is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience in working with children and adults in a variety of settings. She is both the owner of and operator of her private practice, Hearts to Heal Counseling and Consultation, LLC where her mission is to aide in the healing of the most vulnerable pain that is carried from the innocence of childhood into the uncertainty of adulthood. We’re hoping that her testimony can help shed some light on and clear up some misconceptions about what it means to be a single parent.
