Abstract

College students who are single parents face unique challenges that may adversely affect their mental health, which has had limited research exploration. The purpose of this study is to examine any correlation between adverse childhood experiences and single-parent families. The study also determines if there are sufficient resources that support college students who have had adverse childhood experiences and single-parent families on campus. The study would suggest students advocate for appropriate services on campus.
