Abstract
This study investigated the impact of informal support systems on the well being of low income single parents. Sixty-three female subjects residing in a rural county in eastern Washington and living below 125% of the nationally established poverty level were interviewed. Correlations and stepwise multiple regressions were run between measures of support and measures of well being. Results showed total informal support had a positive impact on general well being. Various types or sources of support were found to have differing impacts on well being. Implications for family professionals working with low income single parent families are discussed.
