Single and Co-Parenting Support

Navigating parenthood with confidence, whether alone or as a team

Parenting can be complex under the best circumstances, but raising children as a single parent or within a co-parenting arrangement brings its own unique challenges. Many parents in Dubai find themselves balancing work, personal responsibilities, and family life without consistent support. Others may be navigating the complexities of shared custody, new family structures, or blended households. At American Wellness Center, our Single and Co-Parenting Support program helps parents find balance, strengthen skills, and ensure children feel secure and loved in every situation.

  • Parenting alone after separation, divorce, or loss of a partner
  • Adjusting to co-parenting arrangements with shared custody
  • Part of a blended family and navigating new family roles
  • Living as expats in Dubai without extended family support
  • Seeking tools to reduce conflict and ensure stability for their children

No matter your circumstances, this program focuses on supporting both you and your child through practical strategies and emotional guidance.
