dc.description.abstract	This study investigated the resource needs of single parents as child carers. Participants were a purposive sample of 40 single parents (female = 70%, Black = 95%, rural 80%; age range 30 to 55 years old). Data on resource needs of single parents were collected using semi-structured individual interviews. The data were thematically analyzed. The findings indicated that single parents need relationship and socio-emotional, material and time use supports to be successful in their carer roles. Resourcing single parents in their child care roles requires a holistic approach addressing both material and socio-relational support needs.	en_US
