Abstract:
This study examined the social network, sense of belonging to the community, and the feeling of well-being of single-parent immigrants. In the current literature these variables are perceived as important elements in the successful adaptation of immigrant families. We found that single parents' feelings of well-being and interaction with friends differed significantly from married parents. The findings have practical application for developing social work interventions and programs.
