Being a parent who is going to school involves trying to balance time and family responsibilities. Examples of challenges that parents often face are; less time for socializing outside the classroom, financial difficulties, lack of resources while attending school, lack of support, and limited time for studying.

The Parent Resource Network is a new service that the college provides and its aim is to improve the general health status and coping abilities of parents attending college. This webpage contains most of the existing resources at the college and in the community. The network involves drop in sessions for support, guest speakers and information sharing.

Jean-Pierre Kanamugire, a 3rd year BScN student at Algonquin College and Ottawa University collaborative program stated, “Being a full time parent and student has many challenges to overcome but, with the help of resources and support from the College I have been so far successful”.
