Essential Services

Essential Services

At One Parent, we understand the financial strain many single-parent households face. When one income has to cover everything—from rent to food to childcare—basic needs can feel out of reach.

That’s why we connect families to trusted community resources for food support and housing assistance. Our goal is to reduce the pressure so parents don’t have to choose between essentials—and can focus on building a stable future for their children.

Crisis Management

Crisis Management

Parenting alone is rewarding—but it can also be overwhelming. At One Parent, we offer coaching and counselling to help you manage stress, rebuild confidence, and heal from emotional or past trauma.

Our team provides a safe space to talk, reflect, and grow—so you can feel more balanced, supported, and ready for what’s next.

Looking for support? Our resource hub connects single-parent families to trusted programs across Canada—covering housing, food, childcare, legal aid, and more. We help you find what you need, faster—so you can focus on your family.

Family is the foundation

As of July 1, 2024, Ontario is home to approximately 1.8 million census families, with one-parent families constituting a significant portion of this demographic. These families often face unique challenges, including financial strain and limited access to resources. At One Parent, we are dedicated to providing tailored support—through coaching, counselling, and essential services—to empower single parents and help their families thrive.​

More Than Support

At One Parent, we know families need more than a handout—they need heart, consistency, and real connection. That’s why we don’t just offer resources; we walk alongside single parents with empathy, guidance, and trust. You're not alone—we're here to help you build a stronger, more stable future, one step at a time.

Testimonials

  • Sherry Ann Fogah

    I am a huge fan of One Parent as they were there for me in my LOWEST of low times... My children and I are truly grateful. One Parent has continued to assist me with knowledge for my future business and dreams, and has also kept us from being homeless even after coming to the hospital after having my newborn baby boy!

  • Sara Usman

    One Parent is an angel in disguise. A God sent for me and my kids. They have been there for me no matter what and have listened and helped as much as they can.

Sara and Sherry Ann are just a few of the single parents One Parent has helped.
Our support has given girls in the developing world access to education, and helped parents find solutions for their most pressing problems.

Do it for the kids

One Parent’s clients aren’t failures who couldn’t manage parenting on their own. The parents we work with come to us with a simple, noble goal — to make a better life for their kids. We believe that’s something that’s worthy of celebration, not judgment.

We offer support in a stigma- and shame-free environment. We understand that every single parent must make sacrifices. Through our programming, we aim to reduce your stress and provide the help you need to focus on being a present, caring parent.

More than a handout

we give families a hand up

We are a full-service partner to the families we serve. Connecting them with financial resources is a big part of this, but it’s not the only part. Ultimately, our goal is to help fill the gaps left by an absent parent with patience, caring and support.
