This training helps participants understand the unique challenges single mothers face, avoid common (and often unintentional) missteps, and learn how to mentor with empathy, active listening, and a non-judgmental posture. Grounded in biblical principles, the training emphasizes pointing women to God—not fixing their problems—while building trust, dignity, and authentic relationships.

For PCC STAFF & VOLUNTEERS
Session One: Finding true love!
Our desire for love is often sought from other people. But people often disappoint us. There is one Person, Jesus, Who will never disappoint you. Using circles, you can share The Fall and God’s unconditional love and gift of redemption in as little as 10 minutes.
Session Two: Religion or a Relationship?
Have you ever had a client say life doesn’t look a lot different now than before salvation? Or, what about the client who says she’s tried religion and it just isn’t working for her? How do you share the abundant life in Christ and how to have joy during difficult circumstances?
Session Three: What you have in common with Kate Middleton
Just like Kate Middleton went from commoner to royalty, we, too, go from commoner to royalty when we become children of God. $25 each or all 3 for $60 donation to HSM
What do you do when the future you imagined for your child suddenly changes?
How one family’s journey became a movement of hope!
What happens when a mother watches her daughter step into single motherhood—and realizes the system was never built to support her?
In this powerful and deeply personal message, Dr. Carla Ludwig shares the story that led to the founding of Hope for Single Moms…
Why Can’t They Just Pull Themselves Up by Their Bootstraps?
The Catch-22 single moms are trapped in!
Why can’t single moms just work harder, budget better, or pull themselves up by their bootstraps?
In this compelling and conversation-shifting panel presentation, Dr. Carla Ludwig reframes one of the most common—and damaging—assumptions about poverty. Drawing on national data, real-world outcomes, and lived experience, she exposes the Catch-22 single mothers face: the impossible tension between work, education, childcare, and survival—within systems that were never designed for them to succeed.
As a panelist or moderator, Dr. Carla brings a clear, data-driven voice to discussions on economic mobility, workforce development, education access, faith-based solutions, and generational impact. She challenges audiences to move beyond blame and toward collaborative, cross-sector solutions that create real pathways to stability for families—and brighter futures for children.
This is not a conversation about charity. It’s a conversation about systems, strategy, and what actually works.
