[ONLINE] Crisis Conversations — Live From Better Life Lab

The coronavirus crisis is upending the way we work, live, connect with one another and expect from government, businesses, communities and each other. It’s all changing so fast and showing the cracks in the system. That’s why the Better Life Lab is hosting a weekly interactive conversation for people to come together, share stories, make sense of what’s unfolding and, more importantly, explore what we’re learning in order to create a better future for gender equity, health and how we work, live and care. We’ll be on Zoom, so you can connect from the comfort of wherever you are social distancing.

Join us on Friday, May 8 at 1 PM ET, for a 30-minute interactive conversation on how single parents are managing in the coronavirus pandemic. One in five children in the United States live with a single mother, and 4 percent live with a single father. And while the number of children living with an unmarried parent has increased from 13 percent in 1968 to 32 percent, most work and care systems are still set up to support two-parent families. How are single-parent families managing the pandemic? And what will they need to thrive once we’re out of the crisis?
