The Indiana Commission for Women (ICW) conducted a comprehensive research project titled Mothers in Transition. This research project was a state-wide community needs assessment focusing on women who transition into single motherhood whether by divorce, domestic violence, death of a spouse, or any other circumstance. The three underline goals of this project were the following: 1) to provide a clear picture and a voice for the varied circumstances women experience in the transition to single motherhood, 2) to address and guide best practices that evaluate the effectiveness of existing resources, and 3) to identify community resources and easily accessible to all women.
