JFK Muhlenberg Harold B. and Dorothy A. Snyder Schools
Single Parent Program

The Audrey Snyder Single Parent Program was developed to support student nurses' academic and economic needs. The program includes:

• A residential unit dedicated to the needs of single parents and their school-age children. The unit supports five families who live there until the completion of their nursing program
• Personal performance enhancement sessions allow parents to discuss issues of self-esteem, interpersonal relations, problem-solving and conflict resolution
• An assigned family mentor to help foster parenting skills, health and wellness, goal-setting, peer interaction, socialization, team building, decision making, growth and development for the entire family
• An academic counselor to help the student nurse with academic and clinical matters as well as work on study skills, test-taking strategies and time management tactics.
